The
Canadian Amateur Hockey Association (CAHA) chose the
Toronto Granites as the
1923 Allan Cup champions to represent Canada in
ice hockey at the 1924 Winter Olympics, and
W. A. Hewitt was chosen oversee the national team's finances at the Olympics. Hewitt was empowered by the CAHA to name replacement players as needed, and recruited
Harold McMunn and
Cyril Slater as replacements when four players from the Granites were unable to travel to the Olympics. In his weekly report to the
Toronto Daily Star, Hewitt wrote that the Granites would face multiple changes in conditions compared to hockey games in Canada. He did not feel the team would be affected by playing outdoors on natural ice in the morning or afternoon, despite that the team was accustomed to playing indoors with electric lighting on artificial ice. He also felt that the larger ice surface and lack of boards around the sides of the rink would mean more stick handling and less physical play. During the Olympics, Hewitt attended the annual meeting and elections for the
Ligue Internationale de Hockey sur Glace (LIHG). Since its rules stated that one of the vice-presidents must be from North America, Hewitt and
United States Amateur Hockey Association president
William S. Haddock opted for a coin toss, which decided that Haddock was elected to the position. When the Olympics organizers wanted to select hockey referees by drawing names out of a hat, Hewitt and Haddock agreed to another coin toss to decide on the referee for the game between Canada and the
United States men's national team. Hewitt feared having an inexperienced referee for the game, and his suggested to have LIHG president
Paul Loicq officiate the game was confirmed by the coin toss. The Granites defeated the United States team by a 6–1 score, and won all six games played to be the Olympic gold medallists.
