A.McDougall
Various sources list three MacDougalls winning the 1895 Stanley Cup with the Montreal Victorias; A. McDougall, Hartland MacDougall, and Robert MacDougall. Though details of Robert and Hartland are amply recorded in various texts available in literature, Further information of A.McDougall is inhereintly absent. The known information of A.McDougall is that he is credited as playing for the Montreal Victorias on January 12, 1895 in a 5-1 Victory against the Ottawa HC, however; Newspaper evidence such as that shown on the right indicate that Hartland MacDougall actually played this game. In 1895 Hartland played goal 3 times for the Montreal Victorias between January 12, 1895 and January 26, 1895. He was subsequently replaced in goal by Robert Jones after his second loss of the season (a 5-0 loss to Montreal) on January 26, 1895. Though officially he is only recognized in Coleman and other sources based in Coleman as playing two games instead of three. The Mystery of A.McDougall runs deep as additionally the team cutlist indicated that Hartland was scheduled to be a starting goalie prior to the season beginning.
