Hamilton Olympic Club

The Hamilton Olympic Club (HOC) is the oldest track and field organization in Canada. It was established in 1926 by a group of local businessmen. Many HOC athletes have competed at the provincial, national and Olympic level, including Percy Williams, Don McFarlane, Johnny Miles and Ray Lewis.

The club hosted an international club meet in 1929 against a combined team from Oxford and Cambridge University, with the English team winning by a margin of two points.
