Tedis Kalkhovens

1988.gad sākumā "Austrālijas latvietis" ziņo: Melburnā traģiskā nāvē miris Tedis Kalkhovens, viens no labākajiem Austrālijas volejbolistiem. Viņš pārstāvēja latviešus baltiešu spēlēs.

Bet http://latrobevalleyvolleyball.webs.com/aboutus.htm raksta: With such a strong club history, still the greatest player to come out of the Latrobe Valley stable is legend Ted Kalkhoven.  

Ted began his volleyball career in the Latrobe Valley Volleyball Association in 1976 with the Ulysii volleyball club in Morwell and quickly made his way into the Latrobe Valley representative team.

Ted was a natural leader who went to become captain of the State League club Heidelberg, and Victorian U17 and U20 teams.   The crowning glory of his career was his selection as captain of both the Australian Junior team (1980) and later the Australian senior team. (1985)

In total Ted played 48 international matches for Australia before a tragic road accident claimed his life at the tender age of 25. Both the Latrobe Valley Volleyball Association and the Australian Volleyball Federation have named their annual perpetual trophy for best male player of the year the Ted Kalkhoven Memorial Trophy in honour of one of Australia's greatest ever players.
