Delmar Edwards Irvine (November 24, 1892 – April 13, 1916) was a Canadian professional ice hockey player.
He died after his one professional season of pneumonia, attributed to playing hockey indoors all winter, and inhaling chloride, which was used to artificially freeze the ice at the time.
[1] Born in Barrie, Ontario, Irvine played senior hockey for the Winnipeg Monarchs and won the 1915 Allan Cup championship with the club.
After the Cup series, the Rosebuds and Canadiens played exhibition games in New York and Cleveland.
Irvine did not play in the Cleveland games and was on his way home to Winnipeg when he entered hospital in Chicago where he died.
