John Proctor "Jack" Darragh was a foundational superstar for the original Ottawa Senators and one of the most clutch performers of the early NHL era. A speedy right winger with a lethal backhand shot, Darragh spent his entire 13-year professional career in his hometown of Ottawa. He was a cornerstone of the Senators' "Silver Seven" and early 1920s dynasty, winning the Stanley Cup four times.
Darragh was famous for his "big-game" heroics; he consistently scored championship-clinching goals, including both goals in the 1921 final and the winner in 1920. Despite his dominance on the ice, he famously balanced his hockey career with a full-time job at the Ottawa Dairy Company, once requiring the Mayor of Ottawa to intervene just to get him time off to play in the Stanley Cup Finals. He was posthumously inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1962.
