1890Who was the first hockey player to win the Stanley Cup four years in a row?
Edward George "Eddie" Gerard, born in Ottawa, Ontario, was the first hockey player to win the Stanley Cup in four consecutive years, a feat that remains unique in NHL history. Celebrated as both a gentleman on the ice and a formidable athlete, Gerard’s contributions to the Ottawa Senators and his brief but crucial role with the Toronto St. Patricks between 1920 and 1923 secured his place among hockey’s elite. Remarkably, his four-peat was achieved not just with his home team, but thanks to a rare loan to Toronto as an injury replacement in 1922. On the 136th anniversary of his birth, Gerard is still remembered as an inspiration to teammates and as one of the founding inductees into the Hockey Hall of Fame.
