Position : C/LW/RW

14-05-1905 Montréal, QC, CAN
18-06-1979 Peterborough, ON, CAN

 
Was primarily a center but could also play on both wings. Was the star player on the Toronto Nationals team that defended the Canadian colours at the 1933 World Championships. Was suspended from league play just prior to the 1933 World Championships for physically abusing a referee.
He wasn’t particularly fast on his skates but had a feared shot and liked to play physical. Was a crowdpleaser and did a lot of showboating during the 1933 World Championships, quickly becoming the most popular player among the fans who watched the games. An incorrect birthdate given for him is May 17, 1905.

Centre de formation, pouvait jouer sur les deux ailes. Joueur-vedette des Toronto Nationals qui furent envoyés aux mondiaux 1933 pour y représenter le Canada. Il venait pourtant de se voir infliger une suspension en ligue de la SOHA pour y avoir agressé un arbitre.
Pas particulièrement rapide, c'était un joueur rude au tir redouté. Il savait aussi se mettre le public dans la poche en faisant le spectacle, ce dont il ne se priva pas lors du tournoi mondial de 1933. On lui attribue parfois à tort le 17 mai 1905 comme date de naissance.
