Frank McGee (ice Hockey)

Francis Clarence McGee, (November 4, 1882 – September 16, 1916) was an ice hockey player during the early days of hockey for the Ottawa Hockey Club, nicknamed the Silver Seven. Though blind in one ege, McGee was a legendary player of his era, and known as a prolific scorer. He once scored 14 goals in one Stanley Cup game, and five or more goals in a game eight other times. Despite a brief senior career — only 45 games over four seasons — he led the Silver Seven in its reign as Stanley Cup champions for four seasons (1903–06), playing both centre and rover. During World War I, he enlisted in the Canadian Army and died in battle in France. When the Hockey Hall of Fame was founded in 1945, McGee was one of the original nine inductees.
