The Award
The Peter Kohn Service Award is named after Peter Kohn, who one of the most beloved and recognized figures in the lacrosse community. Kohn started as a field manager for the Park School in Baltimore in 1954. His role as team manager continued with the U.S. National Team from 1978 to 1998, the North-South All-Star game for 25-plus years, club teams in the United States Club Lacrosse Association for more than 20 years, Middlebury College from 1981 to 2003 and numerous other lacrosse events over the years. The lacrosse field at Middlebury is named in his honor, and he was previously inducted into the U.S. Lacrosse New England Hall of Fame. Kohn also served as a volunteer with FCA Lacrosse from 1988 until his death in 2009.
FCA presents this award annually at the Intercollegiate Men's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IMLCA) Coaches Summit.
