Bob Hooper

One of the architects behind the Georgetown Raiders’ run to a Hardy Cup Intermediate "A" Canadian Hockey Championship in 1982, Hooper later became the Commissioner for the world’s largest Jr. A hockey league (OPJHL).

The 71-year-old from Glen Williams served as President of the Intermediate Raiders during their glory years, heading up a community-run organization that employed dozens of volunteers at its peak of popularity.

 Hooper also oversaw the operations of Senior and Junior teams in Georgetown after serving as a coach and general manager for many successful minor hockey teams. He was founding Commissioner of the Ontario Provincial Jr. A Hockey League, which he ran until 2008, and helped bring the Dudley Hewitt Cup Central Canadian Championship Tournament to Georgetown in 2005.

 Hooper’s work as a builder spans over five decades and he was one of the founders of the Georgetown Hockey Heritage Committee as well as the original Jr. "B" Gemini, now the Jr. "A" Raiders.
