Little Men of Iron

Article referred to Wanderers as "Little Men of Iron." However, according to the Hockey Hall of Fame website [1], this was the name of the 1902 Montreal AAA team. Another source is Ultimate Hockey by Glenn Weir, Jeff Chapman and Travis Weir (Toronto: Stoddart, 1999). On page 44, an essay on the Montreal AAA of 1902 is headed "The Little Men of Iron."

Upon further review, Total Hockey (2nd edition, 2000) mentions on page 242 that the Wanderers raided the Montreal AAA team known as the "Little Men of Iron," so "the nickname was applied frequently to the Wanderers."Munson66 22:51, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wanderers played only four games

As noted in the source cited in my footnote, the Wanderers are credited in NHL record books with one win and five losses, but they only actually played four games before the Montreal/Westmount Arena burned down in January 1918. Games scheduled for January 2 and January 5 against Toronto and the Canadiens were recorded as defaults. Note that none of the Wanderer players is credited with playing a fifth or sixth game for that team. Harry Hyland, Dave Ritchie, Jack McDonald, Phil Stevens, Bert Lindsay, Gerry Geran and George O'Grady all are credited with only 4 GP.
