Frank Fredrickson

Sigurður Franklin "Frank" Fredrickson (June 11, 1895 – May 28, 1979) was a Canadian centre who was a great amateur and professional player. His career was interrupted by military service during World War I and was prematurely ended by a knee injury in 1931.
==Amateur Career==
As an amateur, he was the captain of the Winnipeg Falcons, who won the Allan Cup in 1920 and then won the first Olympic gold medal offered in the sport, .
==Professional Career==
Professionally, he played for the Victoria Cougars of the Pacific Coast Hockey Association and the Boston Bruins, Pittsburgh Pirates, and Detroit Falcons in the National Hockey League. He helped Victoria win the Stanley Cup in 1925. On Dec 21, 1928 Frank Fredrickson was traded from the Boston Bruins to the Pittsburgh Pirates for Mickey MacKay. When the Stanley Cup was redone during the 1957-58 NHL season season his name was engraved, contrary to NHL rules, on the Cup with the 1929 Bruins. Fredrickson was a member of the Pittsburgh Pirates the day Boston won the Cup which made him ineligible.
He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1958.
