Edward George "Eddie" Gerard was the heart and soul of the Ottawa Senators dynasty of the 1920s and one of the most decorated winners in the history of the sport. He was recognized for his excellent positioning, physical presence, and ability to shut down opposing forwards while supporting his team’s offense. He was a natural leader, captaining the Senators to three Stanley Cups in four years (1920-1923). After retiring due to health issues, he became a legendary coach, leading the Montreal Maroons to a title in 1926. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame as an inaugural member in 1945.
