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 Coachin-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 onice 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.

WELCOME TO CAHA
On behalf of the host affiliate, the Carolina Amateur Hockey Association, I want to give
you a warm Carolina welcome to the 2016 USA Hockey Southeastern District Tier I / Tier
II Tournament.
This year’s host site is Carolina Ice Palace in Charleston, South Carolina. The rink and
volunteer staff are looking forward to providing you a great experience as you compete
for a chance to represent the District at Nationals this year.
Every player, coach, family member and volunteer that has helped make your season a
success should be extremely proud of you for being a part of this event and representing
their affiliate. Long seasons, heavy travel and huge sacrifices to allow our players the
opportunity to play the game we all love are well worth it and will provide a life time of

I wish everyone safe travels to and from the event, spirited competition between teams,

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.
