Career

Born in Sherbrooke, Rocque played ice hockey as a goaltender in his hometown in Canada before moving to the United States.[1]

Rocque coached hockey at two Ivy League schools: Dartmouth and Yale. At Dartmouth, he coached the likes of Clarence Wanamaker and Lawrence Whitney. The former would succeed him as head coach at the school, as well as at Yale, though not immediately. After Yale, Rocque moved to Boston College, when he was hired by Francis A. Reynolds. While in Boston, Rocque also coached the Boston Arenas and the Boston Athletic Association Unicorns hockey teams.[2] Between 1923 and 1925 he coached in Minneapolis.

Rocque died in Somerville on February 5, 1956, from injuries sustained in an accident six days earlier.[3]
