Henry Maracle

His family picked up and moved from the reserve at Six Nations of the Grand River to Ayr early in the 20th century.

[3][4] He was called up to the NHL by the New York Rangers half-way through the 1930-31 season, and played 15 games for the team.

Instead the focus has been to accept Fred Sasakmoose's 1953 debut with the Chicago Blackhawks as the league's first indigenous player representation in a regular season game.

[3] In 2018, the Rangers donated a pair of modern-day jerseys emblazoned with Maracle's name and number 14 to rinks in Ayr and at Six Nations.

[3] In 2020, the Ontario Sports Hall of Fame notified The Ayr News that Maracle was being considered for induction.
