Bill Watters

William Wayne "Bill" Watters is a Canadian sports media personality and former Assistant General Manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Watters was a fullback and linebacker with the Football Blues from 1961 through 1964. He was a team co-captain and league All-Star at linebacker in both 1963 and 1964. In his final season (1964), he received the Johnny Copp Trophy as the team's Most Valuable Player. Watters also was a member of the Wrestling Blues for three seasons (1961–62, 62–63, 63–64) and practiced regularly with the Varsity Blues men's ice hockey team, although he saw limited action in league play. He earned a total of three First Colours and five Second Colours, and served on the UTAA Men's Athletic Directorate in 1963–64.

Watters was selected 2nd overall by the Toronto Argonauts in the 1963–64 CFL draft draft but chose not to play professional football. Following graduation, he embarked on a career as a teacher then turned to professional sports as a broadcaster, player agent (first as an employee of Alan Eagleson and later on his own), and Assistant General Manager of Toronto Maple Leafs.

Watters currently co-hosts Hockey Central on Rogers Sportsnet, The Bill Watters Show on AM 640 Toronto Radio and is a regular contributor on Q107's John Derringer morning show.
