In Memoriam
Bill Eisenwinter
The Bill Eisenwinter Memorial HOTSHOT Tournament is named after Bill Eisenwinter, former director of the Sting Soccer Club. Bill was tragically killed in a car accident on Memorial weekend in 2003 while on his way to the state cup tournament in Pocatello, Idaho. Bill was a coach, a mentor, but most of all, a friend.
Bill’s tireless work established the foundation of the Sting Soccer Club, and his involvement in the game made him synonymous with soccer across North Idaho. He coached at Coeur d’Alene High School and Lake City High School before establishing the men’s and women’s programs at NIC.
His passing triggered an avalanche of emotion that rushed through the soccer community, the college, and everyone he had come in contact with, a fitting tribute to a life well lived. "Bill was passionate for the game, but he was passionate for enjoying life. He attracted people who wanted to be a part of that."
If you are near tournament headquarters at Canfield Middle School, take a moment to walk over and observe the granite bench that overlooks field #4, known as "Eisenwinter Field." The bench honors Bill’s dedication and commitment to the youth of North Idaho.
Where to stay
The Coeur d'Alene area offers great lodging. Sting partners with local hotels for discounted HOTSHOT room blocks, ask for the "Hot Shots" rate. Block details and rates are posted closer to the tournament.
