Clarkson Player and Coach Ron Frazer


Ron Frazer had settled in Hannawa Falls, New York, but his hockey roots travel back to Ottawa, Ontario. As a high school star in Ottawa, Frazer faced off against his top rival- Johnny Quilty for the city championship. Quilty's St. Patrick's College topped Frazer's Nepean High School. Quilty was off to the Montreal Canadiens and the rookie of the year and Frazer was off to Clarkson, after a season with the junior Senators, and a college scholarship.
In 1942, frazer and Clarkson played a limited schedule due to the war. Frazer scored 5 goals and 3 assists in a single game. The following yearFfrazer's hockey career came to an end when a giant cell tumor on his left foot had to be surgically removed.
Now retired, Frazer continued to coach at many different levels. In 1975 he began the Clarkson Women's hockey team and coached the team for 8 seasons.
