2009 BOB GIORDANO MEMORIAL AWARD
Arnar Bernhardsson

Arnar Bernhardsson didn’t know much about field hockey, but knew KSS team needed a coach. He’d coached soccer and basketball before, so he did some research then used his same winning strategy with players and applied it to field hockey. The results speak for themselves: KSS girls’ field hockey team won the 2009 AAA provincials championships.
Bernhardsson spent seven days a week, two and half months a year, for the past 8 years coaching girls’ field hockey. When field hockey season ends, he changes caps and starts up training for the KSS girls’ soccer team.
In addition to coaching the Owls, he also stepped up and is now coaching the U18 regional field hockey team.
