Biography
Nagle was a dentist, hence his nickname "Doc".
An all-around athlete, he competed in multiple sports, including football, ice hockey, track and field and baseball, while studying at the University of Ottawa.[2]
He received his dental education at the University of Pittsburgh,[2] where he also played amateur hockey for the Pittsburgh Athletic Association[2] and was elected captain of the team at the beginning of the 1919–20 season.[3] Roy Schooley, who assembled the very first U.S. Olympic ice hockey team in 1920, said he would have included Nagle on the roster if Nagle had been eligible to compete for the U.S.[4]
Nagle coached multiple sports for many years in Saskatoon and Battleford,[2] including football at the University of Saskatchewan.[5]
He died on an ocean cruiser outside of San Francisco in 1966, at the age of 72.
