Smith also played for the
Montreal Canadiens ,Quebec Bulldogs andToronto Shamrocks in theNational Hockey Association . Tommy Smith was a 5-foot 4-inches goal scorer who played for 16 teams in his career. While skating for theOttawa Vics in 1906, Smith led the FAHL with 12 goals (including eight goals in a game againstBrockville onFebruary 23 ,1906 ). In future years, he would be the leading goal-scorer in theOPHL (1908–09) and theNHA (1910–11, 1913–14, 1914–15).After the 1913–14 season in Quebec, he was traded (twice) to
Toronto Shamrocks . This caused a dispute with thePacific Coast Hockey Association . At that time, the NHA and PCHA had an agreement whereby the PCHA teams could draft one player from 3 of the 6 teams of the NHA. He was traded away from Quebec, which was eligible to lose a player. He started play for Shamrocks, though he had been drafted by Victoria of the PCHA. It was found that the initial trade was not allowed, and Quebec re-traded him to Toronto during the season, disregarding the PCHA efforts to get him. After the 1914–15 season, he was traded back to Quebec, avoiding the PCHA draft again.Awards & achievements
