Pulford, on December 7, 1904.[2] Pulford later married Jennie Davidson.Шаблон:Sfn In 1891 Pulford started working, first as a clerk with John M.

Sports career
Ice hockey
In his youth Pulford played for Ottawa Hockey Club's junior affiliate.[3] In 1894 he joined the senior club, playing as a point;Шаблон:Efn he would remain with the team until 1908, the year that Ottawa became professional.[4] Pulford would serve as captain of the Ottawa team several times during his career, first starting in 1897.[5] While captain from 1902 to 1905 he led the team, later nicknamed the "Silver Seven",[6] to retain the Stanley Cup, the championship trophy of hockey in Canada, defending it from nine challenges and remaining as champions from 1903 to 1905.[7]
Pulford played his first senior-level games with the Ottawa club during the 1894 season, when the team was playing in the Amateur Hockey Association of Canada, then the top league in the country. His first game was on January 20, 1894, against the Montreal Victorias.[8] He played six of the eight games that year.[9] Pulford also appeared in his first Stanley Cup challenge games, against the Montreal Hockey Club; Montreal won the series and retained the Cup.[10] Ottawa would not win their league championship again for several seasons, and thus was not able to challenge for the Cup again.[11]
Ottawa moved to a new league in 1898, the Canadian Amateur Hockey League (CAHL).[12] The team began to improve after this, and finished first in the CAHL for the 1901 season, though they did not submit a challenge for the Cup in time to play for it that year.[13][14] This season also marked the start of Pulford changing his playing style, and started to rush towards the opponents end with the puck, rather than staying in his area, as was common at the time.[15] Ottawa finished tied with the Victorias for the 1903 CAHL championship and right to hold the Cup, and the teams played a two-game, total-goal series to determine the winner; Ottawa won the series 9–2, with Pulford being credited for his ability to physically stop any opponents from entering his area of the ice.[16] They defended the Cup in a series against the Rat Portage Thistles, ending the season with it.[17]
A dispute with the CAHL over replaying a match led Ottawa to leave the league during the 1904 season and join the newly-formed Federal Amateur Hockey League.[18] They were allowed to retain the Cup, and won all four challenge series' they faced, against the Winnipeg Rowing Club, Toronto Marlboros, Montreal Wanderers, and Brandon Wheat City Hockey Club.[19] Pulford played in seven of the eight scheduled games,Шаблон:Efn and scored one goal.[20] The team won the FAHL championship for the 1904–05 season with a record of seven wins and one loss; Pulford in six games and recorded one goal.[21] The team played two challenge series that year, against the Dawson City Nuggets and the Rat Portage Thistles;[22] Ottawa won both series, with Pulford playing in all four games.[23]
Ottawa joined another new league in 1906, the Eastern Canada Amateur Hockey Association (ECAHA).[24] They defeated Cup challenges from Queen's University and Smiths Falls Seniors.[25] The team finished tied for first in the ECHA with the Wanderers in the season, with both teams winning nine of ten games; to determine a winner a two-game, total-goal series was played, which Ottawa lost, ending their hold of the Cup.[26] Pulford played all ten regular season games, scoring a career-high three goals.[9] He also scored one goal in the six Cup challenge games.[27]
Pulford was hesitant to start the 1907 season as he wanted to row the following summer and was concerned about playing professionals on other hockey teams, which would not allow him to compete in other sports as the rules stated. Despite members of his rowing club telling him to stay out of hockey, Pulford wanted to play for the Cup and rejoined the Senators a few days before the season started.Шаблон:Sfn He recorded one goal in the nine games he played, as Ottawa finished second overall in the ECAHA.[9][28] Prior to the 1909 season Pulford decided to retire from hockey.[29] The league had become openly professional, while Pulford wanted to retain his amateur status.[30]
A strong defender from the start, Pulford was a key part in Ottawa's rise as a team.[31] As an example, Pulford broke his collarbone playing football in 1898, which caused him to miss most of the following hockey season. He returned for the final few games, but was not fully healed. His absence from the ice was greatly missed, and after sitting out a game in January 1899 that Ottawa lost (their first loss of the season), team executives called Pulford's absence "a pretty mean throw-down".[32]Шаблон:Sfn While not a fast skater or skilled stickhandler, he was known as a big player and able to give solid checks.[33] Hockey historian Charles Coleman noted that Pulford did not try to carry the puck up the ice until 1901, several years after the concept was introduced for defencemen, instead preferring to check opposing players and then shoot the puck to the other end of the ice.[4]Шаблон:Efn He did not score many goals during his career, and did not score his first until he was in his seventh season, and only scored eight over his career.[34] He was also known for his leadership of Ottawa, serving as captain for some time, and apparently was not happy to be replaced in that role in 1906.[9]
Other sports
Pulford was outstanding in several sports. He was a backfielder for the Ottawa Football Club football team from 1893 to 1909, winning national championships in 1898, 1899, 1900, and 1902.[35] He also served as captain of the team.Шаблон:Sfn He played lacrosse for the Ottawa Lacrosse Club from 1893 to 1900, winning four national titles. As a boxer, he won Eastern Canadian light heavyweight and heavyweight titles between 1896 and 1898.[36]
However it was as a rower that Pulford gained international acclaim.[1] He was a member of the Britannia Boating Club, winning national and U.S. championships.Шаблон:Sfn Due to his hockey career, which coincided with the rise of professionalism in that sport, he had to be re-instated by the Canadian Association of Amateur Oarsmen in 1909, as had played against professionals and was thus considered a professional by the rules of the time.Шаблон:Efn[1] He was a member of the Ottawa Rowing Club, and in 1910 their eight defeated every one of its opponents, earning the Canadian and North American championships.Шаблон:Sfn In 1911 his crew reached the semifinals of the Henley Royal Regatta.Шаблон:Sfn Pulford's crew lost to one from Magdalen College, Oxford University; Pulford reportedly said his participation in the regatta was his greatest sporting achievement.[1] He time as a rower with the Club ended in 1915.Шаблон:Sfn Later on he served as president of the Club, and resigned in 1936.Шаблон:Sfn
Post-playing career
After retirement from playing hockey, Pulford served as a referee, working in that capacity from 1912 to 1919 in both the National Hockey Association (NHA) and National Hockey League.[1] In 1916, Pulford was a candidate to succeed Emmett Quinn as president of the NHA, though he lost to Frank Robinson.[37] He was nominated by Eddie Livingstone to replace Frank Calder as president of the by-then defunct NHA in a league meeting on September 28, 1918, but Calder would retain his position.[38] In 1933, Pulford was given an option to buy the Ottawa club, by then known as the Senators, and move it to Baltimore, Maryland, but the purchase did not go through.[39]
Pulford was a charter member of the Hockey Hall of Fame, in 1945, and the Ottawa Sports Hall of Fame, 1966. He was also inducted into the Ontario Sports Hall of Fame in 2003 and into Canada's Sports Hall of Fame in 2015.Шаблон:Sfn[40]
