The Midwest Premier League is saddened to hear of the passing of David Hebestreit, a pillar in the metro Detroit soccer community and an important figure in lower league soccer in the Midwest region of the United States. David led AFC Ann Arbor as Head Coach during the club’s time in the Great Lakes Premier League and became an important figure in the league that launched in 2015, which served as predecessor to the MWPL founded later on in 2020.
We pay tribute to David Hebestreit, a great friend, and mentor to many of our current members and many people in the soccer community throughout the Midwest.
