Bruce Hood (2) (1936–2018)

[excerpted from Toronto Star obituary]
Hood, who was instrumental in the formation of the NHL Officials Association in 1969, officiated 1,033 regular-season games, 157 playoff games, three all-star games and three Canada Cups. Hood ran camps for young officials and developed new equipment for referees.

He retired after the 1984 playoffs and got into the travel business, eventually becoming president of the Association of Canadian Travel Agents.

He authored two books on hockey — Calling the Shots in 1988 and The Good of the Game in 1999 — and tried his hand at politics with the Liberals, losing a tight race in the riding of Wellington-Halton Hills in the 2004 federal election.
