Frank Foyston was one of the most versatile and decorated forwards of the pre-NHL and early professional era. A superstar of the "rover" position, Foyston possessed an incredible combination of high-speed skating and clinical finishing. He was the offensive engine of three legendary franchises: the Toronto Blueshirts, the Seattle Metropolitans, and the Victoria Cougars.
Foyston is one of the elite few to win the Stanley Cup with three different teams. He made history in 1917 as a member of the Seattle Metropolitans, the first American-based team to capture the Cup. After a brief stint in the NHL with the Detroit Cougars at the end of his career, he became a successful coach and scout. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1958.
