Cyrille Dion (March 1, 1843 – October 2, 1878),[1] sometimes called "the Bismark of Billiards", was a top player of billiards. Hailing from Montreal, Dion was champion of Canada in 1865. He won the last American four-ball billiards championship, held in 1873. After three-ball billiards came into vogue, he won the world championship at straight rail in 1875, and three years later, the first Championship of America at pool in 1878. He died just six months later at age 35.
The Nordheimer Hall was part of the 2016 World Trade Center Montreal historical tour.
