One of the cards you have is interesting. Tom Gorman won a gold medal in lacrosse at the 1908 Olympics. He brought professional baseball to Ottawa in 1951 - Ottawa Giants. He also owned the Ottawa Senators of the QSHL.
Is one of the other cards misnamed? Could G Cattarinich be George Cattanach who played for the Winnipeg Shamrocks and won a gold medal in lacrosse at the 1904 Olympics? I could not find either name on the Canadian Lacross HOF list.
I did notice on their list that they had the 1928 Canadian Olympic lacrosse team as inductees. Lacrosse was only a demonstration sport in Amsterdam. Not technically Olympians much like members of the 1984 and 1988 U.S. Olympic baseball teams - McGuire, Larkin, Jim Abbott etc.
