Kiel – In mid-October, the GFL team of the Hurricanes ended the training and thus officially also the non-season 2020. At the same time, the club officials and head coach Timo Zorn and his staff have already been working on the planning for 2021 in the last few weeks and months. Even if the development of the pandemic will continue to influence many things, one thing is certain: Carsten Dohm, who returned to Kiel at the beginning of August, has taken over the position of defensive coordinator and is already in charge of the Hurricanes defense.
“We have planned and discussed a lot in the coaching staff in the last few months and I am very happy that Carsten has taken an active role here and has taken on responsibility for this position,” said Timo Zorn. “With Carsten we have a top-class coach on board, from whom other club coaches can learn in addition to the players and who also wants to develop himself further. He has already been a member of the Hurricanes for many years and I am proud that at this point we are continuing to grow from ourselves and on our own, ”explains Zorn.
“Over the last three decades I have experienced a lot of good and difficult things with the canes and now it is time to take the reins in hand and help shape the future,” says the 44-year-old from Kiel. “The last year has been difficult for all of us and we are still in this extraordinary situation. But the will of the guys, the organization and the coaches to get through all of this together and bring Canes Football back onto the pitch is still there and motivates me too, ”said Dohm, who has been part of the Hurricanes since 1993. He has been a coach for 20 years, initially in the Kiel youth team and from 2005 to 2009 in the Canes Bundesliga team. After two years, which the tax consultant spent in North Rhine-Westphalia for professional reasons, he returned to Kiel in 2011 and coached the defensive line of the GFL team until the end of 2019. After a few months with the Lübeck Cougars, the Kielers were able to welcome him back in green at the beginning of August .
