Biography
editNagle was a dentist, hence his nickname "Doc".
An all-around athlete, he competed in football, ice hockey, track and field and baseball as a student at the University of Ottawa.[2]
Nagle received his dental education at the University of Pittsburgh.[2] While in that city, he 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 named Nagle to the roster had Nagle 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, aged 72.
