IN MEMORY

Robert “Bob” McCaig March 20, 1937 - January 22, 2016

The 2016 Southeastern District Tournaments are dedicated to the memory of Coach Bob McCaig, former Southeastern District Coach-in-Chief. Bob McCaig played an instrumental part in the development of youth hockey programs in North America for nearly 40 years. Born and raised in Flin Flon, Manitoba, Bob won championship titles as a player at the Midget and Adult levels before becoming a coach at Lambton College in Sarnia, Ontario. In 1965, McCaig became Director of the McCaig Hockey Academy in Sarnia, Ontario, where he developed on-ice training modules for participants ranging from beginners to elite levels. In 1971, McCaig was appointed Administrator of the Ontario Coaching Program, a position he held until 1987. In 1988 McCaig began working with the Georgia Special Olympics, organizing coaching and officiating clinics, and monitoring floor hockey events for five years. Using this experience, McCaig became the Southeastern District Coach-in-Chief and Administrator for USA Hockey's Initiation Program. As Coach-in-Chief, McCaig developed and implemented the USA Hockey Coaching Education Program throughout the Southeastern District, which encompasses 11 states plus the District of Columbia. McCaig has also educated and trained instructors, and was part of several Southeastern District Select Camps. In addition, McCaig was named the Director of Hockey Atlanta, in which he developed on and off-ice programs for both youth and adults and increased the number of coaching clinics annually from seven in 1987 to 100 in 2002. From 1985 to 1987, McCaig was the Director of Coaching Development for a local youth hockey association in Port Huron, Mich., where he initiated a developmental program for both coaches and players titled "Hockey for the fun of it." McCaig has earned his Level 5 (Masters) Certification in both the U.S. and Canada, and has also served as an instructor for USA Hockey InLine since 1998. Coach McCaig was the recipient of the 2003 Walter Yaciuk Award presented annually by USA Hockey's Coaching Education Program to an individual who has made an outstanding contribution to the program during many years of service as a volunteer. Bob will be greatly missed by all his friends in the Southeastern District.

John Crerar John Crerar truly is the founding father of amateur hockey in the Southeastern United States. John organized the first youth hockey program in the Southeast, the Capital Boys, in the mid-1950s. When the Amateur Hockey Association of the United States (AHAUS, the organization known today as USA Hockey) was formed to promote and regulate amateur hockey nationwide, John was instrumental in insuring that the Southeastern District was recognized as an independent entity in the new organization's eleven district structure. He established the Southeastern Amateur Hockey Association (SEAHA) as the Affiliate organization responsible for the development of amateur hockey at all levels within the District. For a quarter of a century John Crerar served as President of SEAHA, USA Hockey Southeastern District Registrar, and the Southeastern District's representative on the USA Hockey Board of Directors. In 1999, John was elected to the position of Director Emeritus of USA Hockey. John passed away on October 14, 2006. It is with respect, admiration and appreciation for John's service to hockey in the Southeastern United States that one of the two District Tournament divisions at the Pee Wee level is designated as the “Crerar Division.” Terry Scott As Vice President of the Southeastern Amateur Hockey Association (SEAHA) from 1995-97, Terry Scott served as an articulate and enthusiastic spokesperson for amateur hockey in the Southeastern District. His many accomplishments included drafting and securing adoption of the SEAHA by-laws that clearly defined the four zones into which the Southeastern District was divided. These zones provided the basis for team representation in the District Tournament Championship. Terry also provided counsel and support for the formation of an effective administrative structure for the orderly development of hockey in Florida at a time when the sport was growing more rapidly in that state than anywhere else in the United States. Tragically, Terry Scott’s tireless service to the Southeastern District was cut short by his untimely death in 1997. The “Scott Division” bears his name in memory of his dedication to making our sport better and more enjoyable for all.
