Duncan Selbie McCallum (March 29, 1940 – March 31, 1983) was a Canadian professional ice hockey player who played 187 games in the National Hockey League with the New York Rangers, and Pittsburgh Penguins, and 100 games in the World Hockey Association with the Chicago Cougars, Houston Aeros from 1966 to 1975. A broken leg in 1973 during an exhibition game precluded the end of his playing career.[1] He was born in Flin Flon, Manitoba.
After his playing career, McCallum coached the Brandon Wheat Kings of the Western Hockey League for five seasons, winning Coach of the Year honours in two of them. He decided to step down at the conclusion of the 1981-82 season.[2] In the summer of 1982, McCallum had surgery on a malignant brain tumour. After suffering a setback in his recovery, McCallum died on March 31, 1983. He was survived by his wife and three daughters.[3][4] The Coach of the Year trophy was renamed the Dunc McCallum Memorial Trophy in his honour after his death. He is buried at Brandon Municipal Cemetery.[5]
