Tom Hunter (lacrosse)

Hockey Codes

Tom Hunter, whose full name is given as Thomas Hunter, was an American lacrosse player who took part in the 1904 Summer Olympics held in St. Louis. He played for the St. Louis Amateur Athletic Association, the club side that carried the United States entry in the lacrosse tournament. That team finished second and its members won the silver medal, which is the whole of what is recorded about his sporting career. The Olympic database Olympedia lists him as a man affiliated with the St. Louis AAA and states that nothing else is known of his life, and the English Wikipedia article about him is correspondingly short. He is catalogued here as an Olympic lacrosse medalist whose name survives through the 1904 results alone.
