Allan Nelson Loney (May 3, 1885 – March 2, 1965) was a Canadian ice hockey player from the Ontario town of Maxville. He was the only son of Ephram Allen Loney and Jerusha Ann Adams of Maxville.[1]
Loney was the first hockey player to be charged with murder for the death of another player, after he clubbed Alcide Laurin to death during a game on February 24, 1905. Loney claimed self-defence. The charges were reduced to manslaughter, and he was subsequently acquitted.[2] He died on March 2, 1965, in Edmonton, Alberta, where he had worked as a Canadian National Railway employee.[3]
