Harold Macarius Hyland (born January 2, 1889 in Montreal , Québec , † August 8, 1969 ibid) was a Canadian ice hockey player and coach, who during his active career between 1908 and 1918 for the Montreal Wanderers and Ottawa Senators in the National Hockey League played on the position of the right winger . Hyland was one of the first top players in professional ice hockey in North America in the 1910s .

Career

Hyland in the jersey of the Montreal Wanderers

Hyland initially played with the Montreal Gaelics and Montreal St. Ann’s until 1908 , before joining the Montreal Shamrocks of the Eastern Canada Amateur Hockey Association for a year . For the 1910 season, the strong-shot striker moved to the Montreal Wanderers in the newly formed National Hockey Association . Despite his young age of 21, Hyland was an integral part of the team that won the championship of the NHA and then defeated the Berlin Dutchmen of the Ontario Professional Hockey League 7-3 in the Stanley Cup game . Hyland himself scored a hat trick in this game .

The successful time with the Wanderers came to an end in November 1911 when the fast winger joined the New Westminster Royals of the Pacific Coast Hockey Association as a free agent . With 26 hits, the second best value of the 1912 season , Hyland led the Royals to win the championship. In the decisive game against the Vancouver Millionaires , which ended 7-5, the striker scored four times. Nevertheless, Hyland returned to the NHA for the 1912/13 season to the Montreal Wanderers, where he was always one of the best scorers in the league for the next five years. Another league or Stanley Cup title was denied to the Canadian. Particularly noteworthy at this time, however, is the game against the Quebec Bulldogs on January 27, 1913, when he scored eight goals in the 10: 6 victory of his team.

In the 1917/18 season , the Wanderers were among the founding members of the National Hockey League . In the first game of the season, Hyland scored five goals in a 10-9 win over the Toronto Arenas , which has only happened 59 times since then by 43 other players. After a few games, however, the Wanderers had to stop playing in December 1917 after their venue burned down to the ground in a fire. By a dispersal draft carried out in January 1918 , in which the remaining Montreal players were distributed to the remaining teams, Hyland ended up with the Ottawa Senators . There he ended the season and then worked as a coach.

Hyland ended his career as the fourth best scorer in the history of the National Hockey Association. Combined, he scored 198 goals in 159 games in the NHA, PCHA and NHL. His achievements in ice hockey were finally honored in 1962 with the induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame .
