Duncan Macpherson
That name might sound familiar if you followed the Islanders’ through the ’80s. Duncan Macpherson was their first-round pick, 20th overall in the 1984 NHL Draft—a steady defenseman from the WHL’s Saskatoon Blades who showed plenty of promise. But as the years passed, his career never quite took off the way many had hoped. Despite his potential, he never played a game for Long Island.
And by August 1989, the young Canadian hockey player was set to begin a new chapter of his life as a coach for a Scottish hockey team. But he never made it. What followed was a mystery that spanned decades, continents, and countless theories—ranging from amnesia to CIA espionage. The truth, however, would prove far more shocking than anyone could have imagined. This is the tragic disappearance of Duncan macpherson. #hockey #nhl #truecrimestories #newyorkislanders #duncanmacpherson
