George Richardson (ice hockey)

George Richardson (1887 in Kingston, Ontario – February 9, 1916) was a Canadian amateur ice hockey defenseman who played for Queen's University.

George was regarded as one of the best hockey players of his era, either professional or amateur. War was declared in Canada in August 1914 and Richardson joined the army. He was initially a Lieutenant and held the rank of Captain when he was killed in combat. Richardson was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1950.
