In 1935 the Halifax Wolverines would win the Maritime Senior Championship and the Eastern Canadian Championship, the Halifax team was successful in eliminating the “highly rated” Montreal Royals over the course of four games. Game three of the series saw Halifax trailing 3-2, the Wolverine’s Vince Ferguson scored unassisted tying the game, sending the team into overtime play. This goal was known as the “Million Dollar Goal”, having lead the team to a final game against Montreal. This final game of the playoff round became increasingly violent, with blows being exchanged between the Wolverine’s Ernie Mosher and Royals’ Phil Watson. Watson was apparently knocked out by Mosher’s stick, delivering a “wild swing” in retaliation, they would each receive penalties and continue the game. The Wolverine’s success allowed them the opportunity to try for the Allan Cup. Halifax was successful in defeating the Port Arthur Bearcats, winning the Allan Cup and demonstrating their dominance in the league.
