==Football career==
The native of Winnipeg was born in about 1915, the son of Percy Harold Nicklin and Eva Louise Nicklin.〔 He played Canadian football as a back with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers from 1934 to 1940.〔(All-Time CFL Player Roster; Alphabetic Listing by Last Name: N ), CFLapedia, retrieved August 21, 2010.〕 In 1935, Winnipeg became the first Western team to capture the Grey Cup. While Nicklin was there, the club advanced to the Grey Cup twice more in 1937 and 1938, before losing in the finals.〔(Jeff Nicklin; Athlete/Football; Inducted 2004 ), Manitoba Sports Hall of Fame, retrieved August 22, 2010.〕 In 1939, Winnipeg returned to capture the 27th Grey Cup by defeating the Ottawa Rough Riders.〔(Lt.-Col. Jeff Nicklin, Rugby Star, OC Paratroops Unit, Killed by Huns ), ''Ottawa Citizen'', March 28, 1945.〕 Nicklin received Western all-star honours as an end in 1937 and 1938, and as flying wing in 1939.〔
He also played in the ''Tea Bowl'' for the Canadian Army football team against American Army team at White City Stadium on February 13, 1944 in London, England (the Canadians won 16-6, and Nicklin scored the final touchdown).〔(The coffee & tea bowls: football classics: Canada vs. the United States in wartime London as Spitfires fly cover. )〕
