Samuel Hamilton Shore (February 12, 1886 – October 13, 1918) was a Canadian professional ice hockey player who played several seasons for the Ottawa Senators between 1909 and 1918, notably during the "Silver Seven" era when the club was champion from 1903 until 1906.
On the opening night of the NHL, Shore and teammate Jack Darragh had the first contract dispute in the league's history.
A multi-sport athlete, outside of ice hockey Shore was also a bowler of note, figuring on several of the championship teams in the Civil Service League.
[1] Other contemporary players who did similar jumps from forward to defence, throughout their careers, included Jack Marshall, Joe Hall, Ernie "Moose" Johnson, Fred Lake and Eddie Gerard.
Shore was known as a very strong skater with good speed, which helped him in many corkscrew rushes up the ice.
