William Henry Claflin Jr.

After World War I Clafin served as the head coach for his alma mater's ice hockey team.

[1] During his four-year tenure Clafin and George Owen were credited with orchestrating the first line change in an organized game,[2] a maneuver which is still commonplace as of 2020.

Claflin made intermittent trips to Georgia over the years and conducted several minor excavations at Stallings Island and in the middle Savannah River Valley.

Claflin's explorations in the middle Savannah River Valley, Georgia led to the discovery of 140 banner stones, of which 71 are from Stallings Island.

He maintained a small archaeological and ethnological museum at his home in Belmont, Massachusetts with more than 34,000 artifacts from his travels and excavations.
