HEAD TRAINER Quote
“Kevin was one of the best players I ever trainered not because of his physical gifts or talent. His work ethic was second to none. He would spend hours upon hours after practice working on how to get better and that was at the age of 34. Kevin not only helped our team finish at the top of our league. He helped a lot of our young players develop by teaching them how to be a professional.”
