He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1945 as the first American-born player.

Reginald "Hooley" Smith was a legendary early NHL player, recognized as one of the league's original power forwards. A fierce competitor and highly skilled two-way player, he was known for his tremendous physicality, offensive capabilities, and short temper, which often led to high penalty minutes.

During his time in Montreal, he formed the famous "S" Line with Nels Stewart and Babe Siebert, one of the NHL's most feared forward combinations. At the time of his retirement in 1941 after a 17-season career, he held the NHL record for most games played (717). His long career and dominance in both the offensive and defensive zones cemented his status as one of the founding stars of the NHL. Smith also won an Olympic Gold Medal with Team Canada in 1924 before turning professional.
He was posthumously inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1972.

Frederick Hugh "Old Eagle Eyes" Lehman was one of the most innovative and successful goaltenders of the pre-modern era. A star of the Vancouver Millionaires, Lehman was a cornerstone of West Coast hockey for over a decade. He led Vancouver to a Stanley Cup championship in 1915, becoming the first Western team to win the trophy.
Lehman was a pioneer of the goaltending position; he was one of the first netminders to regularly come out of his crease to play the puck and was a vocal advocate for allowing goalies to pass the puck forward. At the age of 41, he finally joined the NHL for the Chicago Black Hawks' inaugural season in 1926, making him the oldest "rookie" in league history at the time. He even served as the team's head coach briefly during his final year. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1958.
Lehman's Awards and Record:

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.

Jack Laviolette was a cornerstone of hockey history, best known as the man who built the Montreal Canadiens. As a dual-threat defenseman and winger, Laviolette was famous for his blazing speed, earning the reputation of being able to skate backward as fast as most players could skate forward. In 1909, he was personally tasked by team owner Ambrose O’Brien to organize a team of French-Canadian stars. This recruitment led to the signing of legends like Newsy Lalonde and Georges Vézina, forming the foundation of the winningest franchise in hockey history.
Laviolette served as the Canadiens' first captain, coach, and general manager, leading by example on the ice. He was a vital part of the squad that captured the franchise's first Stanley Cup in 1916. Although a tragic car accident in 1918 ended his playing career prematurely, his impact as a pioneer and builder of the game remains unmatched. Jack Laviolette was posthumously inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1963.

John "Jack" Marshall was the ultimate "mercenary" of hockey’s early professional era, possessed of a wandering spirit and an unparalleled knack for winning. A versatile performer who could play both center and defense, Marshall was a cornerstone of the legendary Montreal Wanderers and the Toronto Blueshirts. He is most famous for a record that stood for decades: he was the first player to win the Stanley Cup six times with four different franchises.
Beyond his skating ability, Marshall was a shrewd hockey mind, often serving as a player-manager. He was instrumental in building the 1914 Toronto Blueshirts championship team from the ground up. His career spanned the transition from amateur challenge-cup hockey to the formation of the National Hockey Association (NHA), the direct predecessor to the NHL. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1965.
Marshall's Awards and Record:
- Scored six goals in a game versus Ottawa on January 20, 1904
- Scored five goals in a game twice, both versus Montreal, on December 29, 1908, and February 8, 1909.
- Stanley Cup Championships (1901, 1902, 1903, 1907, 1910, & 1914)
- Was the first player to win six Stanley Cup titles
- Was also the first player to win the Stanley Cup while playing for four clubs
