Ken Cox was born in Brampton, Ontario, on February 9th, 1917. His family moved to Etobicoke when he was six years old, where he has since been a resident.

At the age of seventeen, Ken (the only original member of the Faustina Sports Club), along with seven other teenagers organized the Faustina Sports Club. Its primary purpose has always been to initiate, promote, sponsor, and lend assistance to minor sports in the area.

Ken played lacrosse, baseball and hockey in Etobicoke as a boy and young man. He refereed in the M.T.H.L. and Little N.H.L. for years. He was referee in chief and president of L.N.H.L. during the era of Bobby Orr and Jerry Cheevers.

During World War II, the club was disbanded. Ken was in the R.C.A.F., and following the war, re-organized the club in 1947. In 1951, when Lakeshore Memorial Arena was built, under Ken’s guidance, Faustina was the first occupant for minor hockey, and is still there providing hockey for young people in the Etobicoke- Lakeshore area.

Through Ken’s efforts and organization, Faustina has provided glasses for the underprivileged, Christmas baskets for the needy and elderly, bursaries for boys who finished their final year in Hockey, to help with their education, donations for the Home for Battered Women, Queensway Hospital, the Sick Children’s Hospital, and more.

Ken was inducted into the Mississauga Hockey Hall of Fame in 1977 and received the Faustina sportsman of the year award in 1995-1996.
