Captain William James Arthur Duncan MC (July 4, 1891 in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario – April 13, 1975 in Aurora, Ontario) was a Canadian aviator and a professional ice hockey player, coach, and general manager. In 1926 he served as the first team captain, head coach, and general manager of the Detroit Cougars of the National Hockey League (NHL). He interrupted his sports career to serve in World War I, and became a fighter ace credited with 11 official aerial victories. ==Early life and service== Duncan debuted in professional hockey in the 1915–16 season.〔http://www.theaerodrome.com/aces/canada/duncan2.php Retrieved March 14, 2011.〕 Duncan's October 1, 1916 enlistment papers gave his birth date as July 4, 1891, and his birthplace as Sault Sainte Marie, Ontario, Canada. He was an accountant. He listed his next of kin as his mother, Mrs. W. A. Duncan. He listed his home address as his mother's place in Toronto. He also claimed to be serving in the 34th Regiment of the militia, which may be the basis for his direct commissioning as an officer.〔http://www.theaerodrome.com/aces/canada/attestation/duncan2.php Retrieved March 14, 2011.〕 During the 1916 and 1917 hockey seasons, Duncan continued to play, as his battalion fielded a team in the National Hockey Association both years. His transfer to France cut off his sporting career.〔http://www.theaerodrome.com/aces/canada/attestation/duncan2.php Retrieved March 14, 2011.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Art Duncan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
