Bill Wilkinson, the men's hockey coach at Western Michigan in 1982-99 and at Wayne State in 1999-08, again is a bench boss. But now he's coaching a team in Jaca, Spain -- Club Hielo Jaca.

The team just started play in a five-team league.

Wilkinson, 62, chatted with Free Press sports writer George Sipple in a series of e-mails about his new job, how it compares to college hockey and what it's like to live overseas.
