The Kevin Barkwell Heart & Soul Award |
 The Mustangs have renamed the Heart & Soul Award in memory of Kevin Barkwell. The award is presented to a player from each team that demonstrates an outstanding work ethic, positive attitude and team leadership. These are qualities that Kevin brought to the Mustangs as one of the first volunteers in a fledgling organization and continued throughout his time with us. Kevin's legacy will be remembered each time the Kevin Barkwell Heart and Soul award is presented. |

From the Spring 2009 Football Alberta Newsletter
So, what does it take to put on a football game? Do you know? Does anyone? I’m not talking about the on-field stuff.We’ve got coaches, officials and player clinics galore out there right now so if you don’t know your stuff in that regard you can sure pick it up in a hurry. No, I’m talking about beyond the players, officials and coaches and the X’s and O’s. Who else do you need to put on a game? Who are the “Others” necessary to get the job done right and where do they do their job best? Recently, two new artificial turf facilities have been built in the Edmonton area.While they are a gift from God considering our crazy weather and short growing season, they lack a very important part of the puzzle when it comes to actually being able to put on a football game properly. They don’t have a Press Box.Now, you might be thinking:“Press Box? Why would anyone need a Press Box? No media covers our games on a regular basis.That would be a waste of money.” Now, if that indeed is your train of thought you are not alone as is evidenced by the creation of the above mentioned new facilities with no Press Box. However, if you know why these new stadiums need a Press Box, grab a gold star and head to the front of the class. The answer is simple – it’s where the “Others” work during games.
