Lloyd Kellock "Pudge" Neidlinger was an American football player, ice hockey player and head coach and college administrator. He spent most of his professional carrier as the dean of Dartmouth College but also served as the head coach for the ice hockey team at Princeton.
Career
Neidlinger began attending Dartmouth in the fall of 1919. The following year he joined the varsity ice hockey and football teams. As a senior he was the starting goaltender for the former and an All-American tackle for the latter. During his that season, he backstopped the Indians ice hockey team to a fantastic 13–2 record, finished as the #2 team in the nation. After graduating, he worked for the Peerless Tool Company, eventually becoming an assistant to the president. During this time, he was also hired as the head coach for the ice hockey team at Princeton. In six season, Neidlinger led the Tigers to a tremendous 71–31–3 record, however, he was never able to overcome the dominant powers of Harvard and Yale.
In 1933, Neidlinger resigned from both of his positions to become the assistant dean at his alma mater. He was promoted to the main post a year later and remained in that position until 1952. Afterwards, he served as the executive director of council for the International Chamber of Commerce until his retirement in 1965. In the spring of 1978, Neidlinger died after a long illness. He was 76.
