Andrea Chiarotti

Andrea Ciaz Chiarotti (Turin, 5 December 1966 - Torre Pellice 8 June 2018) was an Italian ice sledge hockey player and coach.

Before losing his leg in a motorbike accident in 1990,[1] he played ice hockey with Valpellice since 1982.

In 2003, in view of the 2006 Winter Paralympics in Turin, the Italian Paralympic Committee created the Italian national sledge hockey team.

[6][7] In his honour, the Italian Ice Sports Federation renamed the Para Ice Hockey Coppa Italia as the Andrea Chiarotti Trophy in 2022.
