He was drafted in 1960 to play for the United States Hockey League’s Green Bay Bobcats. By 1962, he moved into a house on Webster Avenue which was constructed at the turn of the twentieth century. As a center/wing, he set the record as the team’s all-time leading scorer. Coppo coached during his last four years with the Bobcats and retired in 1975. He was named the United States Hockey League for his final season.
While playing for the Bobcats in 1962, Paul Coppo was the leading scorer for the U.S. National Team. Coppo was leading scorer once again, when he played for the United States hockey team in the 1964 Olympics in Innsbruck, Austria. He was an All-Star for the United States Hockey League, twice as a coach and six times as a player.
In 1972, Coppo moved to a house on Bryan Street which was constructed in 1952, the former Leslie O. Brosz House.
Coppo relocated to the nearby Town of Rockland in 1981 and coached in the De Pere Youth Hockey Association, conducted hockey clinics, and sponsored youth and collegiate level hockey teams into the 1990s. He was inducted into the United States Hockey Hall of Fame in 2004.
