Claire Brockert was dubbed “Bee” nearly half-a-dozen years ago, when there were two “Claire B”s on her 7th grade soccer club team.

Bee recalls, “Coach said, ‘what can we call each of you?’ The other Claire B. said, ‘I’ll go by Claire’ and I said, ‘I’ll go by ‘B.’”

The nickname stuck and now strikes her as “PERFECT, since I’m a keeper… I’m Bee the Keeper!”

Like her nickname “Bee”, Claire certainly is busy as a bee.

The Kimberly High School senior has been playing soccer for more than a dozen years. She also played JV volleyball during her freshman year, and rec basketball through CYO.

She has brought her soccer skills to many teams, playing not only for the Papermakers but also for WPSL (Women’s Premier Soccer League) Green Bay Glory, FC Green Bay (National League), and FC Wisconsin ECNL RL (Elite Clubs National League – Regional League). Twice, she was goalkeeper for Wisconsin’s Olympic Development Program (ODP) State Team.

Thanks for publishing this great magazine. It is so necessary after the Post Crescent stopped running any local sports. I will tell people all about your publication. I love it.

As a mom of three, a business owner, athlete, and coach, this moment feels so surreal. I’ve poured my heart into every role I play, and to be recognized alongside other powerhouse mamas is something I’ll never forget.

Thank you, Fox Cities Sports Magazine, for highlighting strong, determined, and resilient women—on the field, in the gym, and at home.

I wanted to take the time to say Thank you…for everything you did to help Teegan with this article. Your thoughtfulness did not go unnoticed. You did a great job on the article, and it boost her confidence and taught her things along the way by writing the answers to your questions. All in all…simply said: Thank You.

Dale, I love the publication and just read the piece by Greg Seubert on The Sad State of Local Sports Reporting. I wholeheartedly agree the direction it has taken is unfortunate. I look forward to your publication filling the void for the local folks. Thanks.
