Biography

Born in Montreal, the eldest son of a second-generation Irish Canadian shopkeeper and a French Canadian mother, Duckett was educated at the Collège Sainte-Marie before earning a law degree at the Université Laval à Montréal in 1908.[1]

Representing Canada as a member of the Ottawa Nationals Lacrosse Club, Duckett won a gold medal at the 1908 Summer Olympics in London. In December 1909, he briefly joined the newly-formed Club Athlétique Canadien, but never played a game for the team and did not pursue an ice hockey career any further, though he remained an active lacrosse player through most of the 1910s.[2]

After ending his athletic career, he joined a Montreal legal cabinet, before his appointment as coroner for the district of Montreal by the Duplessis administration in 1937, a position he occupied until his retirement in 1961.

Duckett died in Montreal in 1972, at age 87.
