When talking about Luis Ciancia you will immediately think about High performance, and that special point of view that allowed Luis to read and adapt to the coming changes of our sport, using these changes to achieve excellence.
Luis will remain in his friends and players heart. Straight forward and loyal, he was the leader of the project that boosted “The Leonas” to the top. He appointed the young Coach, Sergio Vigil and quickly achieved results; “the Leonas” got a place in Utrecht World Cup in 1998, Silver Medal in 200 Olympic games in Sydney, gained the title in Perth World Cup in 2002 and Bronze in Athens in 2004.
Luis was also credited for his great and passionate job with Argentinean Men’s national Team; one of his dearest memories.
Luis was a player at San Fernando Club, Coach of Argentinean Men’s National team, Argentinean Head Coach, leader of the project of Lomas, San Fernando, Ciudad de Buenos Aires, Quilmes Athletic, Banco Provincia and CASI hockey teams. Abroad he shared his hockey knowledge in Chile, Spain and Portugal.
