Playing career

Born in Montreal, Quebec, Hyland first played professional ice hockey for the Montreal Shamrocks in the ECAHA in 1908–09, joining the Montreal Wanderers of the NHA in 1909–10 where the club won the Stanley Cup.[1] While with the Shamrocks he played as a center but switched to right wing with the Wanderers.[2]

He played for the Wanderers until they folded in 1918, except for one season in 1911–12 when he joined the Pacific Coast Hockey Association (PCHA) New Westminster Royals. After the Wanderers folded, he joined the Ottawa Senators, where he was named playing coach. He retired the following year.

He once scored eight goals in a game against the Quebec Bulldogs in 1912–13. He scored the first hat trick in NHL history, playing in the league's very first game on December 19, 1917, in which Hyland's Wanderers defeated the Toronto Arenas 10-9, in Montreal.[3]

Hyland also played lacrosse, and in 1911 he was a teammate of Newsy Lalonde and Mickey Ion on the Vancouver Lacrosse Club,[4] and he was also a member of the Montreal Shamrocks lacrosse team playing as a home fielder.[2]

He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1962.
