About Bud Cooper
Ronald "Bud" Cooper
spent more than 30 years of his life as an athlete, coach and athletic
director at Lake Superior State University. In that time, he demonstrated
a tremendous loyalty to his teammates, staff and the University. His
tenacity matched his loyalty as an athlete, and he performed well in
competition and in the classroom.
Bud Cooper was a superb athlete for the Sault Branch and an exceptional
coach and longtime athletic director. Bud is one of two men instrumental
in establishing the LSSU hockey program and Athletic Hall of Fame. His
passion and support of the University as an athlete, coach, athletic
director, alumnus and faculty emeritus are unsurpassed. In 2000, the
Norris Center gymnasium was named the Ronald "Bud" Cooper Gymnasium
to honor Bud for his tremendous support to Laker Athletics and LSSU.
