Nels Stewart

Robert Nelson "Old Poison" Stewart (December 29, 1899 – August 21, 1957) was a Canadian professional ice hockey player who competed in the National Hockey League for the Montreal Maroons, New York Americans, and Boston Bruins. Born in Montreal, Quebec, Stewart moved to Toronto as a boy and learned his hockey in the city leagues and on outdoor ponds. At 18 he signed with the Cleveland Indians of the United States Amateur Hockey Association, leading the league in goals scored in four of the five seasons he played there before he and Babe Siebert were signed by the expansion Montreal Maroons in 1925.

Nicknamed "Old Poison," Stewart joined Siebert and veterans Clint Benedict, Punch Broadbent, and Reg Noble to lead the Maroons to the Stanley Cup championship in his first season. That year he led the league in both goal- and point-scoring and became one of the few rookies in NHL history to win the Hart Trophy. He went on to be the first player to win the Hart Trophy multiple times, and he held the league record for career goals from 1937 to 1952, marking him as the NHL's foremost goalscorer of the pre–World War II era. Stewart is an Honoured Member of the Hockey Hall of Fame.
