It was Cooper's Vision to see a men's league back in Deep River . In order to make the league as fair as possible, Cooper formed a committee of local hockey greats to assist in the vision. Lance's Loggers, The Farm Team and Fleury's Valu Mart all gave up their Sunday night ice times. Getting sponsors was a task that involved much touring around on his bicycle to drum up support. The sponsors came up with the much needed money for the purchase of Jerseys . Many, many phone calls were made to get players signed up. Once the word got out, people started to phone in to play. The first committee meeting went well, many ideas were flowing and the last piece of the puzzle was a president. Chuck Gesner suggested Glenn Law as he would be impartial to any problems arising on the ice. Glenn agreed.

The Deep River Original Six League is a mens draft hockey league that plays Sunday nights in Deep River.
