Harry Messy played ice hockey for the Montreal Victorias in 1897. He was dressed for several games, and played one game, as an injury replacement at forward. In those days ice hockey players played the whole game. Substitions could only be made if a player was injured during the game. Messy did not score any goals. He was a member of 1897 Stanley Cup Montreal Victorias Stanley Cup winning team, but was not included on the team picture.
