Fred Wooster

Fred L. J. Wooster (5 January 1938 to 1 November 1993) was one of the founders of the Saanich Lacrosse Association in Saanich, British Columbia, and a well known local figure for lacrosse. He devoted much of his time and work behind the scenes to organizing box lacrosse clubs and developing players in the Victoria, British Columbia area. As a player he turned out for the Victoria Shamrocks during the 1950s and early 1960s and kept ties to that organisation throughout his life. He also held executive positions with the British Columbia Lacrosse Association, serving as its president from 1972 to 1973. In 1987 Fred Wooster was inducted into the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame in recognition of his work for the game in the Victoria area.
