William Emery "Spunk, Emory" Sparrow (b. September 15, 1898 in Hartney, Manitoba - d. February 2, 1965) was an Hockey forward who played one season in the National Hockey League for the Boston Bruins.
He played junior hockey for the Winnipeg St Johns in 1913-14 and then senior for various Winnipeg teams from 1914 to 1919. He won the Allan Cup with the Winnipeg 61st Battalion in 1916. From 1919 to 1921 he played with the senior Moose Jaw Maple Leafs.
