Along with many of
the other well-known and strong hockey players of the
day, Steve Vair caught the eye of the O'Brien's, who were
looking to add talent to their hockey team.
Looking for any
strong addition to the team that might help them win the Cup
in the second season, Vair was signed to the Renfrew
Millionaires for the 1911-12 season.
Vair had
started his career in 1908 in Edmonton before joining the
Montreal Wanderers a year later. When that team joined
the NHA, Vair moved to the Cobalt team and played a year for
them. It was during this time that he earned his
reputation as a consistent hockey player.
He proved his
worth in his season with the Renfrew Millionaires, scoring at
least one goal in every game he played that year. When
the Millionaire's franchise closed, Vair joined the Toronto
Tecumsehs. He would remain with the team through new
names and new ownerships until the end of his career. In
1913, the Tecumsehs were renamed the Ontario's, and then sold
and renamed the Shamrocks in 1915, the year Vair would retire
from hockey. |
