Hod Stuart
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William H. "Hod" Stuart (1879 in Ottawa, Ontario - June 23, 1907) was a Canadian amateur ice hockey forward who played for the Ottawa Silver Seven, Rat Portage Thistles, Quebec Bulldogs and Montreal Wanderers.
Hod helped lead the Wanderers to their first Stanley Cup victory in 1907.
He died in a diving accident when he dived into unknown water head first and fractured his neck. An estimated 3,800 spectators attended a Hod Stuart Memorial Game on January 2, 1908. The event, featuring the Montreal Wanderers against a squad of All-Stars, raised nearly $2,000 for Stuart's widow and two children, and was the first such "all-star" contest in hockey. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1945.
