Page "King Clancy" Paragraph 2

Clancy played for junior teams in the Ottawa area and began his NHL career in his hometown playing for the Senators, where he would establish himself as among the league's top players and help the Senators to Stanley Cup wins in 1923 and 1927.

Although he was one of the smallest defencemen of his era, he was tough and fast and would not back down.

According to Brian McFarlane, it was said that King Clancy started a thousand fights and never won one.
