Tommy Gorman

Tommy Gorman’s family purchased the Ottawa Senators, and gradually Tommy worked his way up the ranks to the point where he ran the franchise. Gorman was part of the group that formed the National Hockey League in 1917 and he would become the manager and part owner of the Senators that won three Stanley Cups. After selling his interest in Ottawa, he would become the coach in Chicago and took them to a Stanley Cup. He had a dispute with the Blackhawks owner, left to join the Montreal Maroons and coached them the following year to the final Cup in that franchise’s history. Again proving he was a certified winner, he joined the cross town Montreal Canadians and became the General Manager of a team that won two more cups! Tommy Gorman became (and remains) the only General Manager to win a championship four times in the big four North American sports.
