Field Renamed in Honour of Coach Chin

Mackin Park’s south field in Coquitlam will be renamed Kevin Chin Field to honour the longtime football coach and teacher, who passed away in September 2007 at age 51. Chin coached 28 years at various levels throughout BC, the last 2 at NWSS, where his sons Casey and Jordan are players. “He was a great man and football was his passion,” said Coach Chin’s wife, Sylvie. “Basically, he had three passions — one was his work, one was his family and the other was football.”
