Philippe Van Volckxsom (1 May 1897 – 20 December 1939)[1] was a Belgian athlete who competed at the 1920 and 1928 Summer Olympics and at the first Winter Olympics in 1924.[2] Recorded as being deployed as both a forward and a defenceman,[3] he finished fifth and seventh with the Belgian ice hockey team in 1920 and 1924, respectively, and in 1924 he also took part in speed skating events.[4] In 1928 he competed in rowing, together with the fellow ice hockey player Carlos Van den Driessche, but failed to reach the final of the coxless pairs event.[5]
