Nedder later returned to Halifax and coached the Haligonians of the Nova Scotia Hockey League. Hurley”s most painful hockey injury occurred during a practice, courtesy of a shot from a teammate in the Halifax City League that knocked out Nedder”s teeth. The rest of his body was covered with various scars from pucks, sticks, and skates! Nedder was action in both World Wars. He was wounded twice while with the 25th Battalion in World War I, and when he was with the Canadian Navy in World War II he fractured his skull.
