H. J. Sterling Canadian ice hockey administrator

Harry John Sterling was a Canadian ice hockey administrator. He was elected president of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association (CAHA) in 1920, after serving as an Ontario Hockey Association executive and as president of the Thunder Bay Amateur Hockey Association. He was suspicious of players who changed their addresses for the purpose of playing on a new team and declared that the CAHA would not tolerate the hockey "tourist". His investigation into registrations led to the suspension of a team from Saskatoon when it discovered that players who won the gold medal representing Canada in ice hockey at the 1920 Summer Olympics were being paid for amateur hockey. His term as president resulted in the CAHA enacting stricter rules for registration and co-operation with the Amateur Athletic Union of Canada to investigate into all Canadian hockey players to maintain amateurism.
