Bob Reid was a tremendous "behind-the-scenes" force in Victoria junior hockey and lacrosse. Bob, along with Doug Anderson and Bill Ferguson, went door-to-door selling shares that created the junior hockey Victoria Cougars in 1967, a franchise that went from the BCHL to the WHL and produced numerous NHL players. Bob had a long history with hockey. Not only did he play in the old Victoria Commercial League in the 1940s and 1950s, he also coached and refereed at all levels and became president of the Victoria Minor Hockey Association. As well, Bob had a great love for lacrosse. He was instrumental in resurrecting Junior lacrosse in Victoria and during his decade as general-manager of the Victoria McDonalds, he built a lacrosse dynasty that culminated with one of the greatest junior lacrosse teams ever assembled. They won the 1976 Minto Cup. In 1983, under the Esquimalt Legion team name, they repeated with a second national title. Bob's greatest achievement, however, in both hockey and lacrosse was in showing enough simple concern to want to turn out well-rounded young people.

Art Stott was a great Canadian diver and he represented his nation at the British Empire Games and at the Olympics. During the 1920s, Art became Vancouver Island and B.C. senior men's champion and earned two golds, two silvers and a bronze in five national championships. Art placed second in the Canadian trials for the first British Empire (now Commonwealth) Games in 1930 and he placed second in springboard at the Canadian trials for the 1932 Los Angeles Summer Olympics. His diving prowess was evident as a 13-year-old when he won the Junior Boys Pacific Northwest three-metre title in 1923. As well as his competitive diving accomplishments, Art competed in England with the Highgate Diving Club, putting on acrobatic shows for awe-struck audiences. He became an international diving judge and was a founding member of the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame.
