Biography

Cox was a solid defenseman who played many years of club hockey with Princes Ice Hockey Club. He attended Cambridge University and later spent a few years abroad in Canada, before returning to England in 1903.

He had three brothers, one of whom (Sydney) was a fellow member of the 1910 European champion British squad. Cox served in World War I. Having partaken in the sport of rowing, Cox was the editor of the rowing column in The Field from 1903 to 1920. From 1921 to 1929, he held the same position with the Daily Telegraph.

Cox relocated to Rhodesia in his later years. Along with his wife, he was an avid butterfly collector. They discovered a new species, which was named after them (Lepidochrysops coxii; also called Cox's Blue).
