W. B. George

William Bryden George, known as Baldy George (28 November 1899 to 25 June 1972), was a Canadian sports administrator and agriculturalist who was also a regular lawn bowler. As president of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association from 1952 to 1955 he faced the question of whether Canada should keep sending its national team to the Ice Hockey World Championships and the Olympic Games, and the struggle for control of senior and junior hockey. He negotiated a new agreement with the National Hockey League on profits for junior teams. Outside hockey he taught at Kemptville Agricultural School for 34 years. In bowls he served as president of the Kemptville Lawn Bowling Club and of the Provincial Lawn Bowling Association in Ontario, where he oversaw uniform scoring and tournament draws. He was inducted posthumously into the Kemptville District Sports Hall of Fame in 2010.
