o captain my captain

Mr. Maroon: Dunc Munro died on a Friday of this date in 1958. He was 56. A small but solid defenceman, he had his hockey heyday was in the 1920s when he had the unique distinction of captaining four championship teams in seven years. He won a Memorial Cup with the University of Toronto Schools in 1919, then an Allan Cup with the Toronto Granites, with whom he also represented Canada at the 1924 Winter Olympics in Chamonix. Munro went pro (lucratively) after that, joining the expansion Montreal Maroons and leading them to Stanley Cup glory in 1926. He played football, too, for good measure, starring for the Toronto Argonauts in the early ’20s.
