Career
James Dunn was playing minor league hockey during the outbreak of World War I. In 1916, he enlisted at the age of 17 and returned from the war crippled with trench foot. Unable to play he became involved in the administrative world of hockey promoting a number of teams to the Manitoba Amateur Hockey Association in 1927.
From 1921 to 1947 Dunn was employed as the chief secretary and convenor for the MAHA. The following year he was promoted to vice president and three years later began a six-year tenure as president. In the 1950s Dunn found himself with the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association, working his way up from second vice president to first vice president until reaching president status in 1955.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“The problem, thus, is not whether or not women are to combine marriage and motherhood with work or career but how they are to do so—concomitantly in a two-role continuous pattern or sequentially in a pattern involving job or career discontinuities.”
—Jessie Bernard (20th century)
“A black boxer’s career is the perfect metaphor for the career of a black male. Every day is like being in the gym, sparring with impersonal opponents as one faces the rudeness and hostility that a black male must confront in the United States, where he is the object of both fear and fascination.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
“Work-family conflicts—the trade-offs of your money or your life, your job or your child—would not be forced upon women with such sanguine disregard if men experienced the same career stalls caused by the-buck-stops-here responsibility for children.”
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
