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.

Bio/Historical Note: The colours green and white were chosen in 1910 by Reginald Bateman, a native of Ireland and the first English professor at the University of Saskatchewan. The name Huskies was included in an article in the 20 September 1932 Star-Phoenix: “The Varsity Stadium yesterday morning saw the advance guard of over twenty gridiron Huskies swing into action.” One of the earliest pictures of players wearing sweaters with ‘Huskies’ on them was the 1932-1933 Greystone yearbook, showing the men’s hockey team in uniforms with the new name. Women's teams were called "Huskiettes."

He was involved in the race to the moon, working on the Saturn/Apollo Vehicle and the Lunar Roving Vehicle. Tilden was awarded the Astronaut's "Snoopy Award" for his role in the Lunar Roving Vehicle during the Apollo 15 moon mission.

Head and shoulders image of Martin Ruby, Huskie football line coach.

Bio/Historical Note: Martin Owen Ruby (1922-2002) was an offensive tackle and defensive tackle for the New York Yankees and the Brooklyn Dodgers in the All-America Football Conference; New York Yanks of the National Football League; and the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Western Interprovincial Football Union. Ruby played for the Roughriders from 1951-1957. He was selected as one of six Roughriders named to the 1956 Canadian Press Western Interprovincial Football Union All-Star Team. Ruby and a teammate, defensive back Larry Isbell (who also had a University of Saskatchewan Huskies football connection), barely missed taking an ill-fated Vancouver to Montreal Trans-Canada Airlines plane which experienced engine failure above Hope, British Columbia, on 10 December 1956. They had tickets on the following flight to Montreal after passing on the earlier flight. The missing plane's pilot turned back at Princeton, British Columbia, while facing snow and ice. The Trans Canada airliner, carrying 62 people, went down in the Chilliwack Mountain region of British Columbia. Ruby had just finished playing in the East–West All-Star Game.

Bio/Historical Note: Lawrence Dale Isbell (1930-1978) was one of the rare players to be All-American in both baseball and in football. He was an All-American quarterback in 1951, when he guided the Baylor Bears football team to the Orange Bowl; he threw for 26 career touchdowns in college. In 1952 Isbell was named All-American catcher by the American Baseball Coaches Association. That season he set a school record with a .431 average; through 2008, he still ranked second in Baylor Bears baseball annals for best single-season average, behind only Mickey Sullivan. Isbell played minor league baseball for the Boston Red Sox and Brooklyn Dodgers organizations. He also played from 1954-1958 with the Saskatchewan Roughriders as an all-star defensive back, as well as a punter, quarterback and wide receiver. Isbell was working as a car salesman in Clifton, Texas, when he died of a heart attack in 1978.
