Kay Iverson was a Danish-born Canadian ice hockey coach who led Marquette to two intercollegiate championships.
His first recruiting class included three Canadian players; Pudge MacKenzie, Don McFadyen, and George McTeer, nicknamed "the three Macs".
Those players formed the nucleus of the team and helped the Blue and Gold produce its first winning season.
Iverson built the program around their talents and the team went nearly undefeated in 1928, winning the western intercollegiate championship after claiming the season series over Minnesota.
[4] Iverson left Marquette after the second championship and was later the coach for the Tulsa Oilers at the start of the 1932–33 season.
