Who is Dave Gill?
Dave Gill was head coach of the original Ottawa Senators from 1926 to 1931 and a prominent Ottawa sportsman. He won the Stanley Cup in the 1926–27 season. Gill was a member of the War Canoe Club of New Edinburgh and played rugby and hockey for that club as well as paddling. He played football for the Ottawa Rough Riders between 1912 and 1923.
He helped organize the Ottawa and District hockey association around 1920 and in 1925 joined the Ottawa Senators as manager, taking over as coach the following year, winning a Stanley Cup in 1927.
