  • Frank Foyston Frank Foyston Began His Professional Hockey Career with the Toronto Blueshirts of the National Hockey Association (The Precursor to the NHL) in 1911-12
    Frank Foyston Frank Foyston began his professional hockey career with the Toronto Blueshirts of the National Hockey Association (the precursor to the NHL) in 1911-12. The Minesing, Ontario native played three seasons with the Blueshirts, winning the Stanley Cup in 1914. Prior to the start of the 1915-16 season he and five of his Toronto teammates jumped their contracts, heading out west to skate in the Pacific Coast Hockey Association. Foyston, along with Eddie Carpenter, Harry Holmes, Jack Walker and Cully Wilson formed the nucleus of the PCHA’s newest franchise, the Seattle Metropolitans (known locally as the “Mets”). After a 9-9 inaugural season, the Mets moved to the top of the league in 1916-17. Foyston, a forward who split his time between center and right wing, was the second leading scorer on the team with 36 goals in only 24 games, winning the league MVP award in the process. The PCHA title earned the club the right to host the Montreal Canadiens of the NHA for the 1917 Stanley Cup championship. After dropping the opening game 8-4, the Mets took the next three straight to win the best-of-five series. Foyston’s seven goals were the second most in the series behind teammate Bernie Morris, who scored an amazing 14 goals in four games. The Mets made two more trips to the Stanley Cup Finals, playing to a draw against Montreal in 1919 (the series was cancelled prior to the deciding game by local health officials due to a flu epidemic) and losing in five games to Ottawa in 1920.
