Harold “Mush” March was voted one of Regina’s outstanding athletes during 1928 for his performance in junior hockey. He made his professional debut at Ottawa in 1929 with the Chicago Blackhawks.
Mush played with the Blackhawks for 17 seasons (1928/29-1944/45), was voted the fastest skater in the league for 2 seasons, and was a member of the 1934 and 1938 Stanley Cup teams. Mush played in 759 games with 153 goals and 230 assists.
Scoring the winning goal during overtime against the Detroit Red Wings in his first Stanley Cup appearance was one of his greatest thrills. Furthermore, March made history by scoring the first goal in the Maple Leaf Gardens on November 12, 1931; keeping the puck, he dropped it in the final game at the Gardens on February 13, 1999.
