Doug Amey was an icon for Downhill Skiing at Mohawk College and the Ontario College Athletic Association for 24 years. Under Doug’s leadership, our Mohawk teams won 31 Gold Medals in Team, Individual and Combined disciplines at the OCAA Skiing Championships. Doug was named Coach of the Year for his efforts three times (1974, 1975, 1978) and served the OCAA as Skiing Sport Convenor for five years. Doug was also Mohawk’s Tennis Coach in 1971-72 and coached our Varsity Men’s Rowing Club from 1973-76. A professor at Mohawk College in Leisure Education and Social Services for 28 years, Doug used his position to constantly encourage and educate our students on the value of active participation. While the competition of Varsity Skiing was his passion, Doug was instrumental in developing and encouraging student involvement as the Coordinator of Intramurals at Mohawk from 1971 – 1978. In support of this role, he served as a founding member on the Board of Directors for the Canadian Intramural Recreation Association (CIRA).
