Ottawa native defenseman William Hodgson "Hod" Stuart (1879–1907) aged 19 with an Ottawa militia regiment.

Hod Stuart was one of the most prominent players of his era, playing on the cover point (offensive defenseman) position, and a prolific puck rusher. He won a Stanley Cup with the Montreal Wanderers in March 1907. Only a few months later, on June 23 1907, he died in a diving accident when he struck his head on rocks in shallow water at the Bay of Quinte, Ontario.
