National Hockey League Player
Retired Yale sociology professor Jerome K. Myers, 79, died on May 7.
Murray Murdoch, the legendary professional hockey player and collegiate coach, passed away on May 17 in South Carolina, two days shy of his 97th birthday.
Mr. Murdoch, the oldest-living National Hockey League Player, played 11 seasons with the New York Rangers (1926-37) and 508 games, scoring 84 goals and 192 points. The left wing from Lucknow, Ontario, was considered the "iron man" of professional hockey at the time. Lou Gehrig, the renowned Yankee and "iron man" of baseball, once met Mr. Murdoch and was quoted as saying, "from one iron man to another."
Coach Murdoch won the Lester Patrick Trophy in 1974 for contributions to American hockey after spending 27 seasons behind the bench of the Yale men's hockey team as head coach.
From 1938 to 1965 he amassed a then school-record 278 victories, which was broken by the current Yale men's hockey coach, Tim Taylor, last winter.
The Yale coaching legend attended Bulldog games at Ingalls Rink on a regular basis until moving South to be with his daughter last fall.
