Born in Liverpool, England, Alex Smith was raised in Ottawa and would become one of the best players ever to come out of that area. Smith was a star with the original Ottawa Senators where he helped them win the Stanley Cup in 1927. Twice as a Senator, he would lead the NHL in Defensive Point Shares, and he would do so again in his first and only season with the Detroit Falcons, who took him in the 1931 Dispersal Draft. Smith would conclude his career with another season in Ottawa and then stints with Boston and the New York Americans.
