Timeline

1901

Francis Arthur Clarence Finnigan (July 9, 1901 – December 25, 1991), nicknamed "The Shawville Express", was a Canadian ice hockey professional forward who played in the National Hockey League (NHL) from 1923 to 1937.

During this time, he played for the Ottawa Senators, Toronto Maple Leafs, and St. Louis Eagles, and was nicknamed the "Shawville Express."

His younger brother Eddie Finnigan also played in the NHL.

His daughter Joan Finnigan became a published writer.

Frank Finnigan was born in 1901 in Clarendon, Quebec, but grew up in Shawville, Quebec, a primarily anglophone town in the province of Quebec, located northwest of Ottawa along the Ottawa River.

He retained a home in Shawville after becoming a professional hockey player.

He married Maye Horner (1901–1992) and the couple had four children, Joan (1925–2007), Frank Jr., Norma and Ross.

1921

Finnigan first played senior-level hockey for the University of Ottawa in the Ottawa City Hockey League (OCHL) in nearby Ottawa in 1921–22.

According to Finnigan, he was paid to play for the university and did not have to submit any assignments.

As he had to take the train from Shawville to Ottawa, he picked up the nickname "Shawville Express."

1923

He played two more seasons for teams in the OCHL, with Ottawa Collegiate and Ottawa Montagnards before joining the Ottawa Senators in the 1923–24 season.

1927

He was the last surviving member of the 1927 Stanley Cup champion Senators.

Finnigan was an integral member of the 1927 Stanley Cup champion Senators team, playing on a line with Hec Kilrea and Frank Nighbor.

1930

He later served as the Senators captain from 1930 to 1933, and scored a high of 21 goals in the 1929–30 season.

1931

When the Senators suspended operations for the 1931–32 NHL season, Finnigan played for the Toronto Maple Leafs, winning the Stanley Cup for a second time, returning to the Senators the following season.

Finnigan scored the final Senators goal in the final season that the NHL Senators played in Ottawa.

1934

He scored an unassisted goal at the 1 minute, 7 second mark of the second period on March 15, 1934.

The following season, he moved with the other Senators players to play for the transferred franchise in St. Louis, Missouri known as the St. Louis Eagles in the 1934–35 season.

1935

He was sold by the Eagles to the Maple Leafs before the season's end in February 1935 and he finished his career with several seasons with the Maple Leafs as a "defensive specialist."

1937

In 1937, Finnigan retired from the NHL.

He returned to Ottawa and played ice hockey for various amateur teams, including the Ottawa RCAF Flyers while he was in the Air Force.

After retiring from professional hockey, Finnigan went into private business in the Ottawa area.

He managed the Olde Colonial Hotel at the corner of O'Connor and Queen Streets in Ottawa.

Finnigan sold his shares of the hotel and became head of sales for Brading's Brewery.

It was while working at Brading's that Finnigan developed alcoholism and lost his job.

He found a job in the federal government through Frank Ahearn, former owner of the Senators, and later Member of Parliament in Ottawa.

During World War II, Finnigan joined the Canadian Air Force, and was a member for seven years.

Finnigan then owned and managed the Merrickville Hotel in Merrickville, Ontario.

Finnigan moved to Shawville and bought the Clarendon Hotel.

Finnigan eventually overcame his problems with alcohol and sold the hotel and retired, remaining in the Shawville area.

1989

When the NHL planned to expand in 1989, the consortium to obtain a franchise for Ottawa signed Finnigan to be part of the 'Bring Back The Senators' campaign team.

Finnigan along with his son Frank Jr., made public appearances on behalf of the campaign.

1990

Finnigan was also part of the presentation team to the NHL expansion committee in December 1990.

1991

Finnigan suffered a heart attack on December 18, 1991, and he died on Christmas Day in 1991 in Shawville Hospital.

Finnigan learned at an early age that there was money to be made in hockey.

He received his first fee for playing hockey when he was 13, playing for Quyon against Fitzroy Harbour, for which he received $10.

1992

The group was successful and the new Ottawa Senators team began play in the 1992–93 NHL season.

Finnigan died before the new team played its first game in 1992, for which he was scheduled to drop the puck for the ceremonial face-off.

Instead, on opening night the honour went to his son, Frank Jr. to drop the puck.

On that night, the team honoured him by retiring his #8 jersey, making him one of three players in NHL history to have his uniform retired by a team for which he never actually played.
