Kam’s Helmets Day: HPU vs. UH-Hilo

Feb 8, 2022

FINAL SCORE
Hilo Vulcans – 88
HPU Sharks – 70

The Hawai‘i Pacific University Men’s Basketball team honored the memory of former teammate by hosting the 10th annual Kam‘s Helmets Day on Tuesday as part of the Sharks basketball game against Hawai‘i Hilo at the The Shark Tank. Free skateboard and bicycle helmets were distributed in memory of former HPU basketball student-athlete Kameron Steinhoff, who died from a head injury suffered in a tragic skateboarding accident. Following Steinhoff‘s fatal accident almost 11 years ago, HPU, the Steinhoff Family and T&T Tinting established Kam‘s Helmets to provide helmets and increase public safety. To date, HPU has given away more than 1,400 helmets to children, adults, and HPU students.  Steinhoff, a 2008 Punahou graduate and former Hawai’i State Player of the Year, competed in 51 games for HPU and had completed his third year of eligibility when he passed away on May 18, 2011. He played for HPU head coach Darren Vorderbruegge. “Kam was a dynamic young man and we miss him very much,” Vorderbruegge said. “His family and our basketball program are committed to keeping his memory alive by assisting young people here on the Island.”

Oct 23, 2021

In a rare, in season, home-and-home series, the University of Hawai’i defeated New Mexico State 48-34 in front of a “sold out” crowd of 1,000. Dedrick Parson made his first career start in place of an injured Dae Dae Hunter and did not disappoint with 215 yards of total offense and three touchdowns. The Rainbow Warrior defense also contributed to the board as Khoury Bethley and Darisu Muasau returned interceptions for touchdowns, both career firsts.

It was a high scoring win in front of fans for the first time since 2019, but many will agree that the highlight of the night was the announcement that the number 15 would be officially retired from UH Football in honor of the late QB Colt Brennan.
