Harry Hyland

Harold Macarius Hyland, known as Harry Hyland, was a Canadian professional ice hockey forward born in Montreal in 1889. He turned professional with the Montreal Shamrocks in 1908-09, then joined the Montreal Wanderers, who won the Stanley Cup in 1909-10, moving from center to right wing, and spent one season with the New Westminster Royals of the Pacific Coast Hockey Association as a rover. He played in the very first National Hockey League game on December 19, 1917, scoring five goals in a 10-9 Wanderers win over the Toronto Arenas, which set three rookie records that still stand. He finished his career as playing coach of the Ottawa Senators, also played lacrosse, and was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1962.
