Hugh Grogan

Hugh James Grogan was a Canadian-born American lacrosse player who won a silver medal with the St. Louis Amateur Athletic Association at the 1904 Summer Olympics. Born in Toronto, Ontario, on 3 September 1872, he played for local lacrosse teams in the 1890s before emigrating to the United States around the turn of the century with fellow Torontonian Jack Sullivan. Both settled in Chicago and joined the Chicago Lacrosse Club, playing in many matches against local teams and teams from neighbouring states through the mid-1900s. He had a brief spell with the St. Louis club that played two matches at the 1904 World's Fair and finished second. A proficient defender, he later served briefly as a referee before retiring in the 1910s. An electrician by trade, he married, had a daughter and lived in Chicago until his death on 7 July 1950.
