In lacrosse he played senior ball between 1949 and 1961 and won the Mann Cup with Vancouver in 1949 and with Nanaimo in 1956, after two Minto Cup junior titles. He also boxed as a teenager, taking Golden Gloves honours in 1944 and 1945. His career ended in soccer after a 1965 suspension, and he was later honoured by the Canada Soccer Hall of Fame and the British Columbia Sports Hall of Fame.
