Charles Ramsay, sometimes spelled Charles Ramsey, was an American amateur and professional ice hockey player and coach.
Ramsay was a star in Europe, particularly France, in the 1930s when a new arena-based ice rink, coupled with aggressive marketing by future Boxing Hall of Fame promoter Jeff Dickson,[3] made the sport a popular novelty in Paris.[4]
Ramsay was also a teacher of the game and, in addition to coaching many Parisian youth players of the era, authored a 1933 instructional book simply called Le hockey sur glace (Ice Hockey).[5] It has been credited as the first book devoted entirely to the sport to be published in France.[6]
