Bones Allen

Angus J. "Bones" Allen (1881 to 1941) was a Canadian ice hockey and lacrosse player in the early 1900s. Born in Cornwall, Ontario, he joined the Cornwall Hockey Club in 1901 and played three seasons for it before moving to the Ottawa Hockey Club for the 1904-05 season, when Ottawa held the Stanley Cup as the Silver Seven. He played in the 1905 Stanley Cup series against the Dawson City Nuggets. Because professional lacrosse paid better than hockey at the time, he then concentrated on lacrosse, having begun senior play with the Ottawa Capitals around 1898-99. In 1908 he toured west with the Ottawa team and stayed in Vancouver, where he played professional lacrosse for the Vancouver Lacrosse Club between 1909 and 1915, scoring 38 goals in 56 games, mostly as a midfield home player. He was inducted into the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 1966 and died in Vancouver in 1941.
