Jack Setters
- 1972 Sportsperson of the Year -
Calgary’s “Mr. Hockey”, a man who has devoted all his life to every phase of the game; a man who has organized and established the Minor Hockey Association of Calgary to become one of the foremost operations of its kind in the country. This is Mr. Jack Setters, the man recognized by almost every minor hockey player in Calgary because he is so closely involved with every aspect of the minor hockey program.
And tonight the Calgary Booster Club takes great pride in recognizing Mr. Setters as Calgary’s 1972 Sportsperson of the Year.
Jack first became actively involved in Community sports in 1958 at the Glamorgan Association as a hockey coach. He quickly assumed other roles including referee, sports director, and house league coordinator in the ensuing years. Feeling he could relate more closely to the kids as a referee than a coach he has pursued that activity until the present.
