Clarence McKerrow

Clarence McKerrow (1877 to 1959), known as Clare, was a Canadian athlete born in Montreal who competed in lacrosse for Canada at the 1908 Summer Olympics, where the Canadian team won the gold medal alongside the future ice hockey magnate Tommy Gorman. He was also an ice hockey man with the Montreal Hockey Club. At eighteen, weighing only 115 pounds and judged too young and too light for senior hockey, he sat on the bench for the whole 1894 to 1895 regular season, then was called on in the March 1895 Stanley Cup challenge game against Queen's University and scored a goal as his team defended the Cup. In March 1902 he coached the club, then nicknamed the Little Men of Iron, to a Stanley Cup victory over the Winnipeg Victorias. He died in Montreal on October 20, 1959.
