Beautiful vintage-framed studio photo of the 1903 Montreal Amateur Athletic Association (MAAA) hockey team, with the mounted photo measuring 11" x 14", a separate banner below measuring 3" x 14" listing the team names, and the overall size coming in at 26 1/2" x 33". It's a serious bunch, these 1903ers, with only a few cracking smiles, and they must have played a fine brand of hockey as this team was the Intermediate Champions of Canada in this particular 1903 season. We don’t see any future HOFers in the group, but in researching the names we know that all would play for various Federal Amateur Hockey League (FAHL), Eastern Canada Amateur Hockey Association (ECAHA), Canadian Amateur Hockey League (CAHL), and Amateur Hockey Association (AHA) as the years progressed. Among those in this beautiful photo are George Smith, R. Hooper, J. Donnelly, R. Meldrum, C. Blatchford, F. Shackell, Fred Srike, J. McLeod, G. Sargent, W. Horsfall, W. Meldrum, P. Foley, A. Lefebvre, H. DeWitt, D. Browne, and C. Chitty. From this group, Cecil Blachford and George Smith would also suit up for the senior 1903 MAAA squad who were powerhouse Cup contenders then.
