Merv was an all-around athlete until he was stricken with polio.

During his fifteen years as president of the BCLA (1943-1958) he turned a financially strapped organization into a solvent one.  His dedication was such that he and his new bride sent their honeymoon attending the annual CLA meetings in Toronto! 

 Later he served as the President/Chairman/Treasurer of the  Canadian Lacrosse Association (1962-1963) and he retained the role of CLA chairman through 1963-65.
