Stamford athletic trainer honored as local hero by Boston Celtics

Stamford High School athletic trainer Jordan Napolitano is honored as a “local hero” at halftime of the Boston Celtics’ home game against Indiana at TD Garden on Friday, March 24.

OUR HERO.

Please join us in giving a round of applause for The U’s Coach Jordan, who was honored as a “local hero” at the Celtics game on Friday night.

Jordan Napolitano, the athletic trainer at Stamford High School, was nominated for the award for saving the life of a referee who went into cardiac arrest during a girls basketball tournament in Stamford in 2019.

Jordan’s quick thinking, calm demeanor and ability to control the scene proved to be invaluable during the emergency.

For these reasons — and many more — we consider ourselves blessed to call him part of our team.
