Life outside of hockey career

Graham participated in World War I and did not play any competitive hockey between the 1915–16 and 1919–20 seasons. While serving in Europe he was exposed to poison gas which permanently affected his physical condition and his level of play.[1]

On July 2, 1939 Graham was seriously injured with severe lacerations to his scalp when his car flew over a fence and turned over in a ditch in a single vehicle accident in Ottawa.[2] He died less than five years later on January 18, 1944 (aged 49) of a sudden heart attack in Wrightville, Quebec while sitting in the grill room of the Regal Hotel, St. Joseph's Boulevard.[3]
