Franklin (Frank) Ahearn


Frank Ahearn was the pride, the power and the passion behind Ottawa's great NHL days of the 1920's. He bought out his partner Tommy Gorman in 1924, become sole owner and assembled a line-up of stars that won the Stanley Cup in 1927. The Depression years halted Ahearn's benevolence and he was forced to sell off his star attractions and eventually disposed of his rink holdings as well. Ahearn was born May 10, 1886, in Ottawa and died November 17, 1962.

 

Thomas Patrick (Tom) Gorman


During his long career, Tom Gorman worked in hockey, lacrosse, horse racing, baseball and figure skating. For many years, he was sports editor of the Ottawa Citizen, so it can be said that he was surrounded by sports activity all his life. He helped to hold the NHA together when he picked up the Ottawa franchise during World War I. Gorman managed or coached seven Stanley Cup teams; three in Ottawa, two for the Canadiens and one each with Chicago and the Montreal Maroons. He died May 15, 1961.
