This new chapter is exciting for Kirkaldy and his wife Erin, and sons Liam, Connor, and Hudson. “Knowing that my boys will be surrounded by so many other children their ages, and thinking about the friendships they will build is awesome. On top of that, I think about the 300 young men they will look up to.” As for his coaching style? “I like to compete, have fun, and hold both the players and myself accountable to be the best men we can be, on and off the field.”
