University of Saskatchewan Huskies Football Team - Eddie Nagle - Portrait

Head and shoulders image of Eddie Nagel, coach for the 1920, 1923, and 1925 seasons.

Bio/Historical Note: Dr. Edmund Burke Nagle dedicated himself equally to dentistry and amateur sports, especially hockey. Born in 1894 in Almonte, Ontario, Eddie, as he’d become to be known, played football and hockey at St. Joseph High School in the early 1900s. However, it was in college where his athletic talents rose to fame. Starting in November 1910 Dr. Nagle enrolled in Ottawa College with newspapers declaring his right half-back position. However, he also continued to play the seven-man hockey and starred at center. After graduating in 1915 he continued to play amateur sports with the Ottawa Club. That same year Nagle was expected to attend McGill University for Dentistry. He instead spent the year coaching and playing hockey at different levels. Starting in November 1916 he attended the University of Pittsburgh to study dentistry. He played hockey with the city’s famous Pittsburgh All-Stars, or Yellow Jackets. During the 1917-1918 season, he also played in the National Amateur Hockey League with the All-Stars. In May 1918 Dr. Nagle received his draft notice from Canada and traveled back to Canada to enlist. He took a commission in the Royal Navy as surgeon probationer. He returned to Pittsburgh in 1919 in time for school and hockey season. Dr. Nagel continued to play with the All-Stars. After hockey, war and other events, Dr. Nagle graduated in June 1920 and settled in Saskatoon, playing hockey with the Saskatoon Sheiks. After starting up his practice, he remained active in amateur sports, especially hockey. Dr. Nagle was the University of Saskatchewan football coach for the 1920, 1923, and 1925 seasons; his teams went 4-6 in regular season play with no playoff appearances. Dr. Nagle moved his practice to Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan, in 1965. Dr. Nagle died on 24 June 1966 on a cruise ship near San Francisco.
