'''Hans Petter Georgii''' (June 29, 1889 - June 11, 1970) was a Swedish hockey player. He initially played bandy hockey with [[AIK IF]] in 1909. After moving to Germany to study in 1911, he began playing ice hockey with [[Berliner EV]] that December. He later joined [[Berliner Schlittschuhclub]].<br />
<br />
Georgii, known for the white scarf he always wore while playing, soon became one of the top players on the team. At the international level, he played for the [[German National Team]] at the [[LIHG Championships]] in 1912, 1913, and 1914.<ref>{{cite book |last=Müller |first=Stephan |title=International Ice Hockey Encyclopedia 1904-2005 |year=2005 |publisher=Books on Demand |location=Germany}}</ref> <br />
<br />
He was the Swedish delegate at the 1912-13 [[IIHF]] congress (the country would not join the federation until 1920). Georgii returned to his native country with the outbreak of [[World War I]] in 1914.<br />
<br />
Following his return to Sweden, Georgii was selected to play for the [[Swedish National Team]] at the [[1920 Summer Olympics]] hockey tournament. He was one of the few players named to the team (along with [[Hansjacob Mattsson]], [[Nils Molander]] and [[David Säfwenberg]]) who had any experience playing ice hockey - the rest had only played bandy in Sweden.<ref>[http://www.aafla.org/SportsLibrary/JOH/JOHv4n2/JOHv4n2c.pdf "THE BIRTH OF SWEDISH ICE HOCKEY - ANTWERP 1920" - Kenth Hansen]</ref><br />
<br />
Georgii was named the team captain, but we was unable to make the trip to Antwerp for the tournament after falling seriously ill. <br />
<br />
He was posthumously inducted into the [[Swedish Ice Hockey Hall of Fame]] in 2012.<br />
