All-round athlete W. S. (Bill) Godfrey, Miramichi: While attending Mount Allison University (1910-1914) Godfrey played varsity football, hockey and track and field. He was respected as a leader (team captain) and as a competitor, and contributed significantly to the success the teams enjoyed. Mount A won Maritime intercollegiate titles in all three sports during Godfrey's era. In 1914, the hockey team won both the Maritime intercollegiate and Maritime amateur championships. He returned to the university as a coach in the 1920s, and again, in 1930, as a member of staff and coach of the hockey team (until 1936). In 1931, he coached the team to the Maritime intercollegiate title, the first won by the university since 1914. He also served on the university's athletic committee in 1936-37.
