Laird H. "Larry" Haynes (December 30, 1911 – March 1, 1994) was a Canadian football end who played and coached the Calgary Bronks (now known as the Calgary Stampeders). He played from 1936 to 1940, and in 1946.[1] Haynes was the head coach of the Bronks in 1940.[2] He was named All-Western in 1936, 1937, and 1938 as well as All-Canada in 1939 and 1941 (he played with the Vancouver Grizzlies in 1941).[3] In his one season as coach, he had a 4–4 record. He later coached the Vancouver Fighting Irish football and basketball teams before serving in World War II.[3][4]
Haynes was the son of American-born Lester "Slim" Haynes, who was the pitcher of the Stavely, Alberta baseball team from 1919 to 1933.[5][6] Larry Haynes later moved to United States where he farmed three miles southwest of Whitney, Nebraska. He died in Chadron, Nebraska in 1994 at the age of 82.[7][8][9]
