Morley Hunt

Inducted into the Brockville and Area Sports Hall of Fame: June 11th, 2004

Morley Hunt began his sports career in the tiny county community of Escott. Hockey was played on natural ice ponds, and softball was played in farmers’ fields. His hockey career has spanned over 50 years. He is known as a smooth skater and as an excellent playmaker, who was sought out by many teams in the area. He played senior “A” hockey for the Kingston Aces and the Syracuse Stars. He later played and still plays old-timers hockey, participating in many international tournaments and winning a gold medal at the 2003 Ontario Senior Games.

Morley was also an excellent softball player, pitcher, catcher, shortstop and was the playing coach for the Escott Bombers. Later in life, Morley took up golf and managed to bring his handicap down to single digits. Morley has also refereed and coached in the O.D.M.H.A. and the B.M.H.A.
