Had there been a Lady Byng Trophy in
Eddie Gerard’s day, there is a solid chance he would have won a boatload of them.
Gerard was not just a gentlemanly player, but a certifiable star on the blue line. Initially Gerard started his career as a forward, but once he converted to defense he was came into his own and propelled the
Ottawa Senators to three Stanley Cups, and ironically one as a member of the
Toronto St. Pats, when he was allowed to substitute for injured players in 1922. Can you imagine that happening today?
As one of the greatest athletes ever to come from Ottawa and a member of the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame, Eddie Gerard was part of the inaugural class for the Hockey Hall of Fame. It is a shame though that he is not more revered in his hometown of Ottawa.
Should Eddie Gerard be in the Hall of Fame?
Yes I totally agree with this induction. - 50%
I am fine with this induction. - 0%
I do not agree with this induction, but it does not bother me. - 0%
