Oscar Weichel

Oscar William "Mike" Weichel (26 January 1894 – 1 March 1968) [1] was a Progressive Conservative party member of the House of Commons of Canada.

The son of John S. Weichel and Ida Rappel, he was educated in Elmira, Kitchener and at the Toronto Business College.

However, during military service in World War I, one of Weichel's legs was destroyed thereby ending his future prospects in these sports.

He then directed his attention to coaching and administrative work, including 20 years of service on the executive of the Ontario Minor Hockey Association.

Weichel won a House of Commons seat at the Waterloo North riding in the 1958 general election and was re-elected there in 1962 and 1963.
