The following Maroons players and staff had their names engraved on the Stanley Cup
Bill MacKenzie was loaned to New York Rangers on 1935-01-29. In the Stanley Cup Semi-Finals, the Maroons defeated the Rangers, while MacKenzie played in a losing cause for the Rangers. He was included on the Stanley Cup and team picture. However, under NHL rules MacKenzie was disqualified from winning the Stanley Cup because he was a member of the Rangers when the Maroons won it. MacKenzie only played five games for the Maroons in the 1934-35 season. He officially won the Stanley Cup with Chicago in 1938.
In 1934 Tommy Gorman (Manager-Coach) led the Chicago Black Hawks to the Stanley Cup. In the off-season, Gorman was fired after a dispute with President/Owner Fredric McLaughlin. Montreal Maroons hired Gorman as (Manager-Coach) and he led Maroons to the Stanley Cup. He became the only Manager and/or Coach to win back-to-back Stanley Cups with two different teams.
Player Lionel Conacher won back-to-back cups with Chicago Black Hawks 1934 and Montreal Maroons in 1935.
Montreal Maroons did not include any playoff scores in 1935.
