Conrad Ralph "Connie" Hill (January 15, 1918 – August 31, 2001) was a Canadian ice hockey player and professor of journalism and advertising.
During his hockey career, he played for the Belleville Reliance (1942–43), the Philadelphia Falcons (1943-44), the Hollywood Wolves (1944–45), the Michigan Wolverines (1945-49), and the Detroit Auto Club (1949–51).
[3][4] In his history of the Michigan hockey program, John U. Bacon wrote: "With his professorial glasses, thinning hair, and wizened expression, Hill looked much older than his teammates -- and he was, already well into his mid-twenties as a sophomore.".
[6] In December 1946, the United Press reported that Hill and teammate Al Renfrew had "solved the housing shortage" confronting the University of Michigan in the post-World War II years by taking up residence in a deserted office at the Coliseum, the ice-skating rink where the team played its home games.
On March 19, 1948, Michigan defeated Boston College in overtime by a score of 6–4 in the semifinal game of the first NCAA "Frozen Four" collegiate ice hockey tournament.
During his four years of college hockey at the University of Michigan, Hill set school records for career goals (32) and points (87) by a defenseman that were not broken until the late 1970s.
