Sibby Nichols

Sebastian John Sibby Nichols (10 August 1884 to 20 January 1957) was a Canadian professional ice hockey player who played 110 games in amateur and professional leagues, among them the Eastern Canada Amateur Hockey Association and the Pacific Coast Hockey Association. His teams included the Montreal Shamrocks, Vancouver Millionaires, Victoria Aristocrats, Spokane Canaries and Seattle Metropolitans, and he also played lacrosse with the Vancouver Lacrosse Club. Born in Alexandria in North Glengarry, Ontario, he started in Montreal and moved west to Vancouver in 1912, playing for the Millionaires until 1916. He missed their 1915 Stanley Cup win because he was in military service aboard a ship in Asia when the First World War began. After entering the Canadian Over-Seas Expeditionary Forces in 1917 he returned briefly with Seattle in 1919-20 and appeared in the 1920 Stanley Cup Final. He died in Los Angeles.
