As a student at McGill University, George McTeer was captain of both the hockey and football teams and held an executive position on the student council. He graduated in 1931 with a commerce degree, but still travelled with the McGill Martlets to the 1932 Winter Olympics, where he participated in two of the five ice hockey exhibition games. In these, the Martlets defeated a Canadian and American team 2-0 and 2-1 respectively. McTeer had earlier won the 1926 Memorial Cup, given annually to Canada’s junior national ice hockey champions, as a member of the Calgary Canadians, and had tried out for the Toronto Argonauts of the Interprovincial Rugby Football Union (which later became part of the Canadian Football League) in 1931. He joined Imperial Tobacco after graduation and worked in several major cities during his career, settling eventually in Toronto as a provincial sales manager.
