Graydon Hogg was a lifelong resident of the area where after the 2nd world war he operated a mixed farm just west of Sunderland on the 6th concession. In the mid ’50’s, Graydon sold the farm and moved to town.
He was employed until retirement with the Ontario Department of Highways.
Anyone involved with Sunderland’s sports’ teams will have fond recall of Graydon Hogg’s love of athletic competition as a player, a coach and a fan. As a young man his first love was baseball. He was the catcher for many of the Sunderland Men’s baseball teams. Later, during the late 50’s, he became a fixture behind the bench of the Sunderland Harvesters hockey and the Sunderland Tigers baseball teams. His coaching career culminated with a shift in focus to women’s softball where he coached several championship teams.
In appreciation for his contribution to athletics in Sunderland, Graydon was a recipient of the “Canada Celebration ’88” medal and in 2019 he was inducted into the Brock Sports Hall of Fame.
