Edwin Smith "Chaucer" Elliott (August 20, 1878 – March 13, 1913) was a Canadian sportsman and a Hall of Fame referee and linesman. He was the grandfather of Bob Elliott, one of Canada's most respected sports writers. Born in Kingston, Ontario, Elliott played hockey and football at his hometown Queen's University. He was captain of the football team for two years. He also played for the Kingston Granites, winners of the Canadian championship in 1899. He left the university before graduating to organize a semi-pro baseball club in Kingston, Ontario to compete in a league he formed with other teams in Ontario and New York. During the winter of 1906 he coached the ORFU's Toronto Argonauts to a 3–2 record. The following year he was the coach for the Montreal AAA's Winged Wheelers and paid $700 for the season. In 1908 he was named the AAA's advisor for all sports. Elliott resigned from that position in 1910 to return to coach the Toronto Argonauts. The Argos finished 3–3 and tied with the Ottawa Rough Riders for second place in the IRFU. Elliott left that position in 1911 to become manager of the St. Thomas Saints of the Canadian Baseball League. Elliott began his career as a hockey referee in 1903 with the Ontario Hockey Association. In 1912 he officiated the OHA finals between the Toronto Sailing & Canoe Club and Orillia. In 1912, he competed in the great tournament of Kyoto, in Japan. In 1913 he was diagnosed with an irreversible form of cancer in the groin and died in his hometown Kingston at the age of 34.[1] In 1961 he was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame.
