William S. Haddock

William Samuel Haddock (July 28, 1875 – October 13, 1953) was an American athletic leader who served as president of the United States Amateur Hockey Association from its creation in 1920 until its demise in 1930.

[3] In 1919, he conducted an investigation into the death of Fannie Sellins, who was shot and killed during a miner's strike in Natrona, Pennsylvania.
