unusual facts about Montreal Shamrocks



Owen McCourt

On March 6, 1907, McCourt was playing for the Cornwall Hockey Club against the Ottawa Vics in a replay of a match on February 15 protested by Ottawa because McCourt and one other player had played for the Montreal Shamrocks of a rival league.

McCourt played his entire, brief career with Cornwall of the Federal Amateur Hockey League (FAHL) – save for a two-game stint with the Montreal Shamrocks of the Eastern Canada Amateur Hockey Association in 1907 – and blossomed into stardom in his final two seasons.
