The president of the Beartown hockey club is a rather nervous figure who’s constantly trying to keep the various club stakeholders happy, while ensuring that hockey solves its own problems without outside interference. One of his decisions is to force Peter to fire Sune. He is known for making sexist jokes around the hockey club and letting others do the same, but after the blowup surrounding Kevin and Maya, he offers Maya a personal apology for not handling the situation better.
