Your Lionel Trains
arby973 – you didn’t do your research well enough!!!?
With the outmost respect for Normie Kwong, he was not the only Canadian player to win a Grey Cup and Stanley Cup having been a player for only the Grey Cup and an owner for the Stanley Cup.
The honor belongs to Canada’s top male athelete (As voted by the sportswriters of Canada) of the the first half of the 20th century, Lionel “Big train” Conacher. He was paired with Sid Abel as a defenceman in 1934 when Chicago won the Stanley Cup. In 1935 he was the player/coach of the Montreal Maroons when they won the Stanley Cup. He scored fifteen points in the Argonaut’s 23-0 Grey Cup victory over the Edmonton Eskimos in 1921.
In addition to football & hockey, Lionel also excelled at baseball, lacrosse, boxing, and wrestling.

I believe that Big Train has more of a claim on this record than does Mr. Kwong.
Conacher won titles by actually playing both sports, which is an amazing achievement. Winning it from the owner’s box in no way compares, and I don’t really see why such a big deal is made of Kwong’s accomplishment.
