Linton Muldoon Treacy otherwise known as Pete Muldoon was born Colonel Linton Treacy on the 4th June 1887 the son of Alexander Treacy and Eliza Parent of St Mary's, Ontario.

 

He was an iconic ice hockey figure who also boxed, played lacrosse, ice danced and skated on stilts.

 

He played ice hockey in Ontario before moving to the Pacific coast in order to pursue a boxing career. He started as an amateur boxer for the Washington Athletic Club in Seattle. By February 1910, he was the holder of the PNA and AAU 158-pound titles. He would turn pro shortly thereafter. When he participated in the Pacific amateur tournament at Sacramento in November 1910, his amateur status was disputed by Olympic officials and he was "disbarred." He changed his name to Pete Muldoon because the pursuit of a professional sports career was discouraged at the time.

 

In 1912, Muldoon left Washington for Vancouver to manage a professional lacrosse team, train its hockey (Millionaires) and baseball (Beavers) teams. When he found time, Muldoon moonlighted as a boxing referee. In 1914, he took over as the coach and manager of the Portland Rosebuds. For the 1915 season, he changed teams, and went to Seattle to manage a new team in the PCHA, the Metropolitans. He spent eight seasons coaching in Seattle, and amassed a record of 115 wins, 105 losses, and four ties. The Metropolitans competed several times for the Stanley Cup. The Mets played for the Stanley Cup three times under his leadership, and winning it once in 1917 during their first trip. Muldoon was the first and, at age 30, youngest coach of a Stanley Cup Championship team based in the United States.

 

In 1919, the Metropolitans made it to the finals for the second time in three years, this time against the Montreal Canadiens. The series was to have been a five-game series, but the fourth game ended in a scoreless draw. However, local health officials called off the deciding sixth game just hours before it was due to start when several players on both teams were stricken by Spanish flu. With virtually his entire team either hospitalized or confined to bed and efforts to find replacements vetoed by the PCHA, Canadiens owner George Kennedy announced he was forfeiting the game—and the Cup—to Seattle. However, Muldoon felt it would be unsportsmanlike to accept what would have been his second Cup, seeing as it would have been at the expense of a team decimated by illness. Seattle lost in the Stanley Cup finals in the next year against the Ottawa Senators.

 

Muldoon returned to the Rosebuds after the Metropolitans folded in the spring of 1924. He followed most of his players to the NHL when most of the Rosebuds were sold to Major Frederic McLaughlin to start the Chicago Black Hawks. He accepted the position because his wife Dorothy was a Chicago native and pregnant with the family's second child, Dick. After the Black Hawks ended the 1926–27 season with a playoff berth after finishing in third place in the American Division with a 19–22–3 record, he resigned because of constant meddling from McLaughlin.

 

Muldoon returned to Seattle and became involved in efforts to bring a professional team back to the city, as a new arena was constructed in 1928. Muldoon, with the help of a group of investors, established the Seattle Ice Skating and Hockey Association, while aiding to establish the PCHL. This new league had its first season in 1928, and the Seattle team was dubbed the Seattle Eskimos.

 

In the spring of 1929, Muldoon went to Tacoma with co-owner and local boxing promoter Nate Druxman to search for a location to build a new rink in order to establish a team. While in Tacoma, on March 13, 1929, Muldoon died due to a heart attack. Without their coach, the Seattle Eskimos were able to win a playoff series against Portland, before losing to Vancouver in the league finals. The following season the Eskimos established the Pete Muldoon Trophy, presented to the player "deemed most inspirational by his teammates". It was awarded for a few seasons, and disappeared from records during the Great Depression years.

 

He is best known for reportedly putting a curse on the Chicago Black Hawks, as well as team owner Major Frederic McLaughlin, after he was fired at the end of the 1926-27 season; however, it has been alleged that a Toronto sportswriter had come up with the "curse" due to a bout of writer's block in 1943.Muldoon was the Black Hawks' first head coach.

 

In a 2010 New York Times interview, Lynn Treacy of Wilmington Delaware, then an 85 years old high school tennis coach and retired chemical engineer, reflected on his father and the ‘Curse of Muldoon’ “For what little I remember of him, I remember he was such a warm person,” Lynn Treacy said. “He bought us pets — a dog, a monkey. He did everything I would have expected from a father.” Indeed, Treacy said, when his eldest daughter first heard about the Curse of Muldoon years ago, she joked that they should fly to Chicago to remove it. Treacy barely knew his father, but he followed hockey in Delaware into the 1970s. Then came hockey’s goon era, led by Philadelphia’s Broad Street Bullies, and he lost his taste for the game. “Hockey is a game of skating, puck-handling and shooting, not a game of trying to cripple the other players,” he said.

There were still some British citizens in the Romanian territory, most of them working in the oil sector or in industry. Although, in late September and early October 1940, members of the Legionary Movement kidnapped some British citizens, state police were not involved in these ‘arrests.’ These British citizens were suspected of preparing the destruction of the oil industry in Prahova Valley, in order to sabotage its oil-export to Germany.

To see the full statements given by Percy R. Clark, Jock Anderson, Alexander Miller and J. E. Treacy to the British Plenipotentiary Minister in Bucharest, Sir Reginald Hoare, after their release from the hands of the legionaries, see Sorin Arhire, ‘Situatia cetatenilor britanici în timpul statului national-legionar din România,’ Annales Universitatis Apulensis.

He lived in this country for more than twenty years

Ottawa, 3 (News Release from the Department of External Affairs)

Information has reached us from London to the effect that the five British subjects detained in Roumania are Captain Treacy, his wife and his deputy, Anderson, as well as Young and Brazier of Romana Americana. Captain Treacy and his wife are Canadian. All five were taken into custody on September 25 by Iron Guard police. The following day, they were handed over to the Bucharest police after they had signed a confession concerning plans for sabotage. The British consul was able to see two prisoners in Bucharest on September 27. The United Kingdom has since entered into talks with Romania with the aim of obtaining the release of the prisoners, or, failing that, to obtain that the prisoners be brought before the courts at short notice and that they are properly dealt with in the meantime.

On 13 Oct, 1899 Mary Mechan McKee married Robert Treacy in Perth Co.  Robert was 13 years older than Mary.  His first wife, Sarah McMillan, had passed away.   At the time of their marriage, Mary was a school teacher and Robert was a carpenter.

Information we found indicates that the Treacy’s came from Ireland during the potato famine.  They are said to have been builders and there are apparently quite a number of their heritage houses still standing.  We should note that this may be a different branch of the Treacy family tree than Robert belonged to, but the information matches with Robert’s occupation being listed as a carpenter.

In the 1901 census Robert and Mary are living in St. Mary’s, Perth Co with Robert’s three sons from his first marriage, their one-year-old twin daughters (Sara and Jane) and Mary’s mother.

By the 1906 census they had moved to High River, Calgary, Alberta.  Two of Robert’s sons, Sara and Jane and Mary’s mother are living with them.

Robert Treacy died 8 Nov, 1910.  Mary Mechan McKee Treacy died 9 May, 1930.

They are buried together in Highland Cemetery Range E Plot 061, High River, Alberta.

When George Tracy, an early settler to St. Marys, built it for his family, it was by far the largest home in the small village of log shanties. Almost immediately, it was nicknamed the Castle in the Bush. It has been the location of the St. Marys Museum since 1959.

Iredale Family, As Told By Bruce Iredale

Bruce Iredale, along with all who currently carry the Iredale surname in St. Marys, trace back to his great-great-grandfather Joseph Iredale who arrived here in 1844, coming over from England. The original Iredale in Little Falls (as it was known at the time) secured a position as head miller with the Huttons in their grist mill along the Thames River near Victoria Bridge. Joseph married Ellen Barron, who later died. Joseph then married Jane Tracy (daughter of George Tracy ) and the couple would buy a farm and sawmill up Trout Creek, later converting the operation into a flour mill.  Joseph and Ellen had a son named Joseph, who would go on to marry Mary Ann Todd. Their son, Orville Clarence Iredale, would marry Mary Ann Longhurst and the couple would have a daughter and three boys that would have descendants in St. Marys to this day. Wilfred Newton Iredale (who married Ida Smith) is the father of Bruce Iredale, while Orville Clarence Iredale is the father of Norman Iredale.
