'''Louis Magnus''' (May 25, 1881 - November 1, 1950) was a French hockey player and builder who was highly influential in the development of the game prior to [[World War I]].<br />
<br />
Magnus was born in Jamaica and moved to France with his family in 1889. He competed as a figure skater in the disciplines of single skating and pair skating in France. <br />
<br />
He was the 1908-1911 French national champion in singles, and the 1912 national champion in pairs with partner Anita Del Monte. He worked as a figure skating judge for France at many international events.<br />
<br />
He also played ice hockey with [[Club des Patineurs de Paris]] from 1902 to 1912 and was a member of the [[French National Team]] at the [[1912 LIHG Championship]]<br />
<br />
Magnus was the first IIHF president from 1908 to 1912 and then again in 1914.<ref>[http://www.iihf.com/iihf-home/history/the-iihf.html It all started in Paris, 1908]</ref><br />
