Henry Judah "Harry" Trihey was the premier superstar of the late 19th century and the captain of the legendary Montreal Shamrocks. A brilliant center, Trihey is credited with revolutionizing offensive hockey by introducing the concept of organized team play. Trihey led the Shamrocks to back-to-back Stanley Cup championships in 1899 and 1900.
In 1899, he set an extraordinary record by scoring 10 goals in just two games during a Stanley Cup challenge. Despite his dominance, he retired at the height of his powers at age 24 due to a dispute over the ethics of the game's transition toward professionalism. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1950.
