Northland Pines opens interactive HOF display outside of Fieldhouse

The Northland Pines School District recently announced the opening of a new interactive Hall of Fame display outside of the Northland Pines High School Fieldhouse.

The display shows all inductees in the alumni, athletic and athletic team Hall of Fame’s at the school.

A large-touchscreen now offers students, family members, alumni and community members the chance to browse the three sections and dive into the rich history of the district and learn more about all of the Hall of Fame inductees, championship teams, memorable moments and athletes and coaches who have helped build a legacy for Northland Pines. The project was intended to honor the individuals and teams who have a lasting influence on Northland Pines.

Here is an example of what users can find when you click on a specific person or athletic team. This is the write-up for the 1988-89 hockey team, that was inducted in 2025:

“The 1988-89 Eagle River Hockey Team, inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2025, won its third WIAA State Hockey Championship during the 1988-89 school year. Ranked second in the state, the Eagles marched through the WIAA Sectionals playoffs to advance to the State Championships. Coached by Tom Obrodovich and assisted by Dunnie Richter, the Eagles dumped D.C. Everest 7-3 and blanked Antigo 7-0 to win the sectional championship to advance to the three-day, eight-team State Tournament at the Dane County Coliseum in Madison. At State, Pines edged Sun Prairie 1-0 in the quarterfinals, dominated Wausau West 5-1 in the semi-finals and man-handled Beloit 4-1 in the State Championship game. The 1988-89 Eagles won the North Central Hockey Conference with a perfect 16-0 record, finished the season with a 24-1 overall record and won a covered State Hockey Championship as Northland Pines left its mark on Badger State boys high school hockey with its third state title since 1984.”
