Seattle Metropolitans 1917 Stanley Cup champions [ edit ]
Players
Coaching and administrative staff
‡ Played rover, a position between both defences and behind the centre.
The 1917 Stanley Cup was presented by the trophy's trustee William Foran . The Metropolitans never did engrave their name on the Cup for their championship season.
It was not until the trophy was redesigned in 1948 that the words "1917 Seattle Metropolitans" was put onto its then-new collar.
