Harry George Woolley

Harry George Woolley (1942 to 2009) was a Canadian lacrosse player, coach, referee, manager, scout and volunteer builder of the game who held 72 appointments over 46 years. A correctional officer by trade, he played semi-professional box lacrosse for the Sorel Titans in the Quebec Lacrosse League from 1965 to 1968 and for the Coquitlam Adanacs in 1969 and 1970, where his fighting earned him the nickname The Woolley Jumper. He later refereed from 1960 to 1997, coached provincial champion youth teams, founded the West Central Lacrosse League in 2002, served as British Columbia Lacrosse Association president and was inducted into the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 2004.
