Career

Born in Port Arthur, Ontario, Davey learned to play ice hockey with the Elmwood Midgets.[1]

Club

When he was 16 years old, Davey's mother left with him to England in 1931. He got a place with the Princes club playing in the English League with the help of a London newspaper.[1] After a short time with ZSC Lions in Switzerland, he returned to the UK to play with Streatham in 1933 before eventually moving on to play with the Falkirk Lions in the Scottish National League between 1938 and 1940,[1] whom he also coached in 1938–39.[2]

During World War II, Davey joined the Royal Canadian Navy continuing to play ice hockey in the Toronto Services League.[2] After the war in 1946, Davey returned to Streatham where he took up playing in defence having previously played right wing.[2] Davey then moved the Wembley Lions the following year for the 1947–48 season.[1] Davey then turned his hand to refereeing before returning to playing for a brief spell during the 1949–50 season with the Streatham Royals in the Intermediate League.[1]

Davey went on to play for the GB national team at all the international tournaments between 1932 and 1939,[2] most notably the team which took part in the 1936 Winter Olympics.
