George Chenier (January 14, 1907 – November 11, 1970) was a Canadian snooker player widely regarded as one of the best players Canada has ever produced.[1] Chenier is considered to be one of the premier break builders of his era, who was also the North American Amateur Champion from 1948 to 1970 and is one of only two snooker players to have been inducted into Canada's Sports Hall of Fame, the other being Cliff Thorburn.[2]
