Archibald "Archie" William Hooper (September 11, 1881 – October 11, 1904) was a Canadian amateur ice hockey player in the early years of the sport. He was a member of the Montreal Hockey Club that won the Stanley Cup in 1902 and 1903, a team popularly known as the 'Little Men of Iron'. He died at age 23 after only three years of senior hockey play. Hooper is believed to be the first ice hockey player to die from a hockey-related injury.[1]
