In addition, as a regular field player, he played a total of four games as a goalkeeper at a time when the teams had no substitute goalkeepers. This makes him the most frequent goalkeeper outfield player in NHL history.

Career

Mummery was born in Chicago in the US state of Illinois , but soon moved with his family to Brandon in the Canadian province of Manitoba . There, the stocky defender played for numerous teams in Manitoba, northern Ontario and Saskatchewan between 1907 and 1912 .

For the 1912/13 season , Mummery joined the reigning Stanley Cup winner Quebec Bulldogs from the National Hockey Association . With the support of the defender, the Bulldogs defended the title. Mummery stayed with the Quebec Bulldogs until 1916, before moving to the Canadiens de Montréal league. There he spent the last season of the league before it broke up. In the Stanley Cup final, the Canadiens failed to the Seattle Metropolitans .

After the dissolution of the NHA and the associated establishment of the National Hockey League , the Bulldogs initially got their former player back. Since they decided against participating in the first NHL season for financial reasons , the Toronto Arenas received the defender by means of a dispersal draft . Mummery continued his successful times in Toronto and won his second Stanley Cup with the team. Before the 1919/20 season , he finally returned to the Quebec Bulldogs, who now took part in the game operation and thus received their ex-actors back. At the Bulldogs , Mummery , who is otherwise employed as a fireman for the Canadian Pacific Railroad , completed his best season to date with 18 points in 24 games. Due to his powerful slap shot, there were nine goals. He also played three games as a goalkeeper for the Bulldogs, as the regular Frank Brophy and Howie Lockhart were not operational.

Prior to the 1920/21 season , the Quebec Bulldogs franchise was relocated to Hamilton and renamed Hamilton Tigers . Mummery remained loyal to the team, but was transferred back to the Canadiens de Montréal in November 1920 without a single deployment. With him, Jack McDonald and Dave Ritchie changed teams, while Jack Coughlin , George Prodgers and Joe Matte as well as Billy Coutu came to Hamilton on loan . With the Canadiens Mummery was able to increase his offensive values ​​again with 20 points in 24 encounters in the season 1920/21. Nevertheless, the Canadiens separated from him again in November 1921. With Amos Arbor he returned to the Hamilton Tigers, while Montréal secured the services of Sprague Cleghorn .

Mummery stayed in Hamilton until February 1923, where, as in Quebec, he temporarily guarded the gate before he was given up for a sum of money to the Saskatoon Crescents in the Western Canada Hockey League . There he ended his career after the 1922/23 season . He died on September 12, 1945 at the age of 56 in Brandon, his adopted home.
