Alvin Horace "The Silver Fox" Ritchie (December 12, 1890 – February 21, 1966) was a Canadian football player, coach, administrator as well as ice hockey coach who was the head coach of the Saskatchewan Roughriders from 1928 to 1932, 1935, and in 1942. He had many accomplishments and honors, including being named to the Canadian Football Hall of Fame (as a charter member), Canada's Sports Hall of Fame and Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame. The Al Ritchie Memorial Stadium, Al Ritchie Arena, and Al Ritchie Neighborhood are named in his honor. In addition to coaching the Roughriders, he was their manager in most of the 1920s, while coaching the Regina Pats football and hockey teams (being the only person to win the championship in both sports), while at the same time being a scout for the New York Rangers, which he did from the 1933 until his death in 1966. From about 1918 to about 1922, he was the coach of the Victoria Senior Hockey team, leading them to the championship in 1921 and in 1922. While coaching and managing the Roughriders from 1928 to 1932, they made the Grey Cup each season, but lost in all 5 matches. Ritchie was also player for a Saskatchewan rugby team in the 1910s before serving in World War I. While playing in the 1910s, he was a player-coach in baseball, hockey and lacrosse.
