He was one of the first bona fide goaltending stars in first the NHA and eventually the NHL, and his accomplishments were recognized when he was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame back in 1965.
Hell of a picture you found there of Clint in the Ottawa Senator uniform one of the first all star goalies.
