Club History - 1901
|
Ottawa enjoyed a great season in 1901, winning seven of their eight regular season games. The closest call was a 5-5 tie with the Montreal Victorias in Ottawa, on January 19. In that contest Harry Westwick collapsed after ten minutes of overtime as the result of a foot injury which had been operated on previously. Ottawa clinched the championship when they defeated the Quebec Bulldogs 1-0 on February 23 but, unfortunately for them, the Montreal Shamrocks had lost the Stanley Cup to the Winnipeg Victorias and due to the lateness of the season Ottawa did not enter a challenge for it. |
