At issue was the perceived financial exploitation of the Canada men's national ice hockey team and abuse from European media on the Canadian style of physical play.

He oversaw the establishment of district playoffs for minor ice hockey and welcomed teams formed of Canadian Armed Forces athletes during World War II.

His community involvement also included serving as president of the local Red Cross Society and as chairman of the Kemptville District Hospital construction committee.

[8] George was elected secretary of the Rideau Group in November 1932, an ice hockey league which included teams from Kemptville, Smiths Falls, Perth and Brockville.

The ODAHA saw growth in hockey in rural areas, and planned for smaller towns and villages to form their own league within the association and introduce an intermediate level of competition.

[12] The ODAHA restored grants given to support junior ice hockey, and received applications for affiliation from two new leagues and the Eastern Ontario Secondary Schools Association.

[14][16] World War II reduced the number of players in the ODAHA by almost half due to Canadian Armed Forces enlistments, with the biggest decrease noticed in senior hockey leagues.

George also chaired the sub-committee to study financial reports from the branches and recommend how to best distribute the funds, and was empowered to increase or decrease the granted amounts.

[44] George was re-elected first vice-president in May 1951, when the CAHA introduced suspensions for failure to respect on-ice officials, and ice hockey rules to reduce physical play and speed up the game.

[52] George chaired the resolutions committee which asked for revisions to the agreement with respect to the C-form, the size of reserve lists and the right of the NHL to sponsor junior players and teams.

George conducted lengthy discussions in December 1952, which resulted in recommended changes to the Quebec Senior Hockey League (QSHL) constitution and assertion of CAHA control over the Major Series.

Further discussions sought protection against continued roster raiding and increases in amounts paid by professional leagues for drafting Major Series players.

In return we are subjected to constant, unnecessary abuse over our Canadian style of play".George attended the 1953 IIHF congress to represent both the CAHA and AHAUS to speak on guarantees against financial loss.

The CAHA approved an application by the QAHA for reinstatement, after it had been suspended in February for issuing a registration certificate to Ron Attwell, who was deemed to be an invalid transfer from his team in the OHA.

[59] George criticized Montreal Canadiens' general manager Frank J. Selke for trying to circumvent CAHA legislation when he attempted to have top prospect player Attwell transferred to the QAHA.

[60] George supported the QAHA's authority to decide on an ultimatum from the QSHL, which demanded a better deal to remain amateur and part of the Major Series or to become a professional league.

[61] George predicted that the NHL would not last three years without the CAHA, and stated that it would end the current system which allowed a three-game tryout for an amateur with a professional team.

[63] At the semi-annual meeting, the CAHA agreed to distribute playoffs funds proportional to the profit on a series-by-series basis,[64] but rejected the request to resume transfers from west to east.

[71] The CAHA chose the East York Lyndhursts to represent Canada at the 1954 Ice Hockey World Championships, and the Kenora Thistles to tour Japan in March 1954.

[73] The East York Lyndhursts lost by a 7–2 score in the final game versus the Soviet Union national ice hockey team and placed second at the World Championships.

[78][79] He recommended that Canada continue to play at the World Championships, and denied reports from East York's manager that spectators in Sweden treated the Canadian team unfairly.

George suggested that the western branches submit requests for transfers to the upcoming CAHA general meeting, but felt that Eastern delegates would resist the increased cost burden.

[89] After a Canadian exhibition game versus the Czechoslovakia national team, George discounted reports dispatched from Prague and printed in the Daily Worker in London as exaggerated, and denied that Penticton's style of play was "thuggery-on-ice".

[93] He was open to the CAHA sending a team on a tour of the Soviet Union if an invitation was received soon enough to rearrange league schedules and if adequate financial compensation was provided.

[98] He later served as the club's secretary-treasurer and delegate to PLBA meetings, and was appointed a member of the Kemptville Community Park Commission to represent lawn bowling.

[105] He expected an increase in lawn bowling clubs due to the desire for a new recreational hobby closer to home since travel was difficult with gasoline rations during the war.

[3][108] George transitioned from an English and economics teacher at Kemptville Agricultural School, to become head of the soil chemistry department and overseeing experiments and research on its experimental farm.

[113] He stated that Eastern Ontario farms had chemical deficiencies in nitrates, phosphates and potash, according to the results from 1,948 soil test samples conducted by Kemptville Agricultural School in 1950.

[120] He directed a play to benefit local hockey as the club's song leader,[121] was on the board of directors for the association and arranged for Kemptville to host the international convention in 1932.

[2][134] He was the business manager for the planning committee for the Kemptville Centennial week during July 1957, and produced a 158-page souvenir review that summarized the first 100 years of the town's history.
