Raiders’ past president, wall of honour inductee Doug Winterton passed away

Jul 22, 2020 | 5:53 PM

The Prince Albert Raiders announced on Wednesday that former president Doug Winterton died peacefully at 91 years of age, earlier in the week.

Winterton held the president’s position from 1979-80, but his involvement with the Raiders goes a lot deeper than that.

Winterton was involved with the Raiders right from the get-go, as he was a billet parent in the team’s early days and hosted some big-time players like Brad McCrimmon.

He was then the team’s secretary from 1972-79 and later became a charter member on the Raiders’ Booster Club to help raise money for the team.

Winterton was inducted on the Raiders’ Wall of Honour in 2013 as a builder for all his accomplishments.
