Charles George Hartley (born October 13, 1883 in North Plains , Michigan , † March 13, 1960 in Los Angeles , California ) was an American - Canadian ice hockey player who was active for the Berlin ice skating club from around 1911 to 1914 . In addition, he was known as the dentist of the royal family in Germany and various Hollywood stars.
Career
Charles Hartley was born in North Plains , Michigan . His family moved a few years later the Canadian Brantford in the province of Ontario . There he learned to play ice hockey.
He studied dentistry at the Royal College of Dental Surgery at the University of Toronto and played for its ice hockey team, the Toronto Varsity Dentals in the Ontario Hockey Association . He also won the Ontario Intercollegiate Championship twice in a row with his college team in 1902 and 1903. He continued his studies at the University of Chicago and played for the team at the Chicago College of Dental Surgery for two years - the first ever ice hockey team at the University of Chicago.
After an excellent degree in dentistry, Hartley was advised to gain further experience in his field in Europe. He received offers from Switzerland and Germany, moved to Dresden in April 1906 and (later) became an assistant dentist at the Saxon royal court of Friedrich August III. and later at the court of William II. Hartley was one of the first dentists to introduce porcelain caps instead of gold crowns.
In his spare time he played for the Academic Sports Club 1906 Dresden in the bandy team , a sport related to ice hockey, but with a ball instead of a puck, eleven field players and an ice surface the size of a soccer field. Most of all he was amazed by the bandy rules, among other things it was forbidden at the time to wield the ball like a puck on the bat and to hold the bat with both hands.
In about 1907, Hartley asked a friend from Toronto to send him hockey sticks and pucks to equip his teammates with. In the next few years Hartley helped to build up the ice hockey game in Germany by taking part in various ice hockey tournaments with ASC Dresden. In 1909 he won the Berlin International Ice Hockey Tournament with ASC Dresden with a 5-3 win over the Brussels IHC . A year later he lost in the semifinals of the tournament against CP Paris 4-5 after extra time. From around 1910 onwards, parallel to ASC Dresden, he also played in international appearances by the Berlin ice skating club , and from around 1912/13 he was a permanent member of the BSchC team. In 1913 and 1914 he won the German championship with the ice skating club . Because of his great influence on the development of ice hockey in Germany, the team at Berliner SC called him "Our master teacher" .
At the first European ice hockey championship in 1910 in the Swiss resort of Les Avants , Hartley took second place with the German national team , which was mainly due to the superior skills of Hartley, who was voted the best striker of the tournament. Internationally, he played for the German national team at the European Championships in 1911 , 1913 and 1914 and also represented Germany (with the Berliner SC) at all three LIHG championships between 1912 and 1914.
He left Germany in 1917 and moved to California. Hartley's dental skills remained in demand and he worked as a personal dentist for numerous Hollywood actors including Greta Garbo , Gary Cooper , Oliver Hardy , James Stewart and Fred Astaire . In the early 1930s he returned to Germany to continue to inspire the European ice hockey associations for the sport. Hartley also played a part in the development of ice hockey in California in the 1920s and 1930s, including serving as President of the Amateur Ice Hockey Association of Southern California and coaching the University of Southern California's ice hockey team between 1930 and 1934 .
After a car accident in 1945 he was speech-impaired and the right side of his body was partially paralyzed. He died in Los Angeles in March 1960 . Hartley was posthumously inducted into the German Ice Hockey Hall of Fame .
