Donald Henderson "Dan" Bain was the greatest multi-sport athlete of the 19th century and the first true superstar of Western Canadian hockey. As the captain and centerpiece of the Winnipeg Victorias, Bain was a fast-skating, hard-shooting center who led his team to three Stanley Cup titles (1896, 1901, and 1902).
His 1896 victory was historic, as it marked the first time the Stanley Cup was won by a team from outside of Montreal. Known for his incredible stamina and clutch scoring, he once played a Stanley Cup challenge game with a broken nose and heavy bandages, yet still scored the winning goal. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1947.
