Philip Ross

Philip Ross
Philip Ross’ entry to the Hockey Hall of Fame can be traced to the Stanley Cup itself. Ross was actually a decent player, as he played for the Ottawa Hockey Club but he served the game by helping to form the Ontario Hockey Association and actually competed in the championship game in 1891. A few years later, he was named as one of the trustees by Lord Stanley for the Stanley Cup. This was a role that Ross (who would later also become a respected Canadian politician) took very seriously, and held for fifty years, all the while protecting the integrity of the trophy. It is because of men like Philip Ross that the Stanley Cup holds the value it does today.
