Frank “Moose” Goheen was one of the top American ice hockey players of his time.

Goheen attended Valpo in the late 1910s into early 1920, playing football and baseball while on campus. He left school in the spring of 1920 to captain the United States ice hockey team at the 1920 Summer Olympics. Goheen helped lead the U.S. squad to the silver medal, scoring seven goals over the team’s four games.

Goheen’s distinguished playing career started with the St. Paul Athletic Club in 1915, which won the MacNaughton Cup multiple times during his tenure. He joined the St. Paul Saints, then an amateur squad playing the United States Amateur Hockey Association, in 1922 and played for them in nine of the next ten seasons — including through their move to the professional ranks in the Central Hockey League in 1925 and later the American Hockey Association. Goheen passed up multiple National Hockey League contact offers, as well as an opportunity to represent the U.S. in the 1924 Olympics, due to his commitment to his full-time job in the St. Paul area.

Goheen was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1952, becoming just the second American inducted into the Hall. He was also inducted into the Minnesota Sports Hall of Fame in 1958 and into the United States Hockey Hall of Fame as a member of the inaugural class in 1973.

A veteran, Goheen served in the U.S. Army during World War I. He passed away in 1979 at the age of 84.
