Remembrance Day is November 11. In honour of those who have served, I've researched a brief list of hockey players who served in either of the two World Wars. Here's a bit about a few of these players.

Allan "Scotty" Davidson
Born March 6, 1892. Died June 16, 1915.
Davidson was killed during the First World War, dying in action in France in 1915. He played professional hockey prior to the advent of the NHL. He won the Stanley Cup in 1915 with the Toronto Blueshirts, who were playing in the National Hockey Association, a precursor to the NHL. He also played junior hockey for Kingston, winning two Ontario championships. Davidson played two seasons in the NHA, with 19 goals in 20 games in 1912-13 and 23 goals in 20 games in 1913-14.

Hobey Baker
Born January 15, 1892. Died December 21, 1918.
Perhaps one of hockey's most famous veterans, and also maybe one of the most famous players to have never played in the NHL, Baker is one of the most influential American hockey players in history. He played both hockey and football for Princeton from 1911 through 1914 and went on to player amateur hockey in New York until 1916. He served with the U.S. during the First World War. He was killed in a plane crash in France in 1918. Baker was one of the inaugural 12 inductees to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1945 and the NCAA awards the Hobey Baker Award each year to the best collegiate hockey player.

Russell McConnell
Born January 7, 1918. Died September 7, 1942.
McConnell played hockey and football for the McGill Redmen from 1935 to 1939, winning four championships with McGill's hockey team. After McGill, he played in the Quebec Senior Hockey League and was named its MVP for the 1938/39 season. He declined a contract offer from the New York Rangers and instead joined the Canadian Navy during the Second World War. During his time with the Navy, he continued to play senior hockey with the Montreal Royals, losing in the Allan Cup finals in 1941. He was killed on naval patrol Gulf of St. Lawrence after his ship attempted to chase a German submarine.

Joe Turner
Born March 28, 1919. Died December 13, 1944.
Turner, a goalie, played one game for the Detroit Red Wings, the totality of his NHL career. Prior to his brief tenure with Detroit, he played with the Guelph Indians of the OHA (the junior predecessor to the OHL), leading the OHA in goals allowed three times. After signing with Detroit, he played for their AHL farm team, the Indianapolis Capitals, where he played in the AHL All- Star Game and won the Calder Cup, the league's championship trophy. His single NHL appearance came on January 5, 1942, against the Toronto Maple Leafs. He joined the U.S. Army after that season, being deployed to Europe during the Second World War. He went missing in action in Germany in December 1944. The former IHL named its league championship, the Turner Cup, after him.

Dudley "Red" Garrett
Born July 24, 1924. Died November 24, 1944.
Garrett, a defenseman, played 23 games with the New York Rangers during the 1942/43 season. He enlisted in the military during the Second World War and was killed in November 1944. The AHL awards the Dudley "Red" Garrett Memorial Award in his honour to its rookie of the year each season.
