Like many of the other Renfrew Millionaire players, forward Ogilvie Cleghorn was enticed to join the team by a salary offer.  Signed for the 1910-11 season for a $1,000 salary, "Odie" joined the team at the same time as his brother, Sprague.

Considered to be a solid and tough player, he scored 20 goals in the 16 game schedule that season, placing him in the top five on the scoring list. 

Unfortunately, it was the last season for the Renfrew Millionaires, the financial strain of the high salaries finally catching up with team owner M.J. O'Brien and his son Ambrose.  The Millionaires ended the season with a third place finish.

When the franchise withdrew from the National Hockey Association, Creghorn joined the Montreal Wanderers, one of the original teams that established the NHA.

He would go on to win the Stanley Cup as a player for Canadiens in 1924, and retired as a Pittsburgh Pirate.  Ogilvie Cleghorn's career highlights included being the top scorer in the National Hockey League in 1919 when playing for the Canadiens, and he left hockey having scored more than 200 career goals.

However, his love for the game didn't stop after he stopped playing professional hockey as he rejoined the league with a new career as a referee, a job he kept until the 1930's.
