Tom Hooper (ice hockey)

Charles Thomas Hooper (November 24, 1883 – March 23, 1960) was a Canadian professional ice hockey player.

In 1896, at the age of thirteen, Hooper joined the Rat Portage senior hockey team where he would play until 1908.

During his years with the club, the Thistles won three league titles and challenged for the Stanley Cup three times, in 1903 and 1905 against Ottawa, and 1907 against the Montreal Wanderers.

The team won the Cup in January 1907, in part due to Hooper's three goals in the second game of the two-game total-goals series.

Hooper's play in the 1907–08 season was considered by hockey writers to not be up to the standard of his previous years due to his fitness.
