This photo depicts the Hamilton Wholesale League Champions of 1905, the Fearman hockey team. The winning cup is displayed in front of the team captain, A. C. Hagar, who was also the team’s rover.

Fearmans was an early Hamilton meat-packing concern. Started by F. W. Fearman in the 1850s with the production of pork products, the company grew to one of the largest in the country by the 1880s.
