Rosie Helmer

Edward Robert "Rosie" Helmer (April 19, 1890 – December 25, 1951) was a Canadian ice hockey and baseball coach.

He developed into an outstanding baseball player and travelled to western Canada to participate in the minor leagues.

While playing in Fort William, Ontario (now part of Thunder Bay), he began his hockey career, and he subsequently became interested in attaining a coaching position.

He spent one season behind the bench of a junior league team in Swift Current, Saskatchewan before moving to Calgary, Alberta in 1919.

Helmer served in multiple capacities with this team and was the Americans' head coach during the 1935–36 NHL season.
