Steamer Maxwell

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fred G. "Steamer" Maxwell (May 19, 1890 in Winnipeg, Manitoba - September 11, 1975) was a Canadian amateur ice hockey defenseman who played for the Winnipeg Monarchs.

Steamer, though offered many opportunities to play professional hockey, was one of the best players of his day. He always turned down professional opportunities because he wanted to remain an amateur. He led the Monarchs the 1915 Allan Cup. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1962.
