Sir Sam Hughes to Face Hockey Puck

Lethbridge Daily Herald

Dated: December 9, 1915

Montreal, Dec. 8.
Major-General Sir Sam Hughes, minister of militia, may face the puck when the hockey team of the Canadian Grenadier Guards meets an aggregation picked from Wanderers and Canadiens of the N.H.A. in a game for patriotic purposes at the Arena Saturday night.
The Grenadier Guards have some likely players, including some of last year's North Bay O.H.A. team, and will give the professionals a tidy contest. Practically every member of the Wanderers and the Canadiens will be seen in action during the game.

The National Hockey A.ssociation (1909-1917) was the predecessor to the N.H.L. (founded in 1917 with four teams: Montreal Canadiens, Montreal Wanderers, Ottawa Senators, Toronto Arenas; now where does the term "Original 6" come from)
