HOCKEY MARCHING AS TO WAR One man ‘doing his bit’ was Frank McGee. McGee had helped the Ottawa Silver Seven successfully defend eight Stanley Cup challenges and amassed a remarkable goals in only 23 regular games. As the single greatest scoring threat in hockey during the first decade of the twentieth century, McGee was a target for opponents’ sticks and dirty play. McGee had lost an eye during a game in 1900 before he starred for the Silver Seven. This fact should have kept him out of hockey, let alone the war.
