Google Lens fails this challenge. But their translation of the hand-written note makes for some head scratching moments ...

"(Let me?) remind you of the exploits that we have all accomplished in the world of hockey. -R. Ouimet" Or Guimet? Looks like Quebec Bulldogs colors, but it doesn't say QUEBEC across the front.

"Ouimet" seems the more likely surname, strictly (and loosely) based on current era hockey players with that last name. Either way, you are tantalizingly closer to the player ID. Maybe you could reach out to one or more HF members with SIHR contacts.

ETA: The Google Lens app translation was FAR more colourful than your logical interpretation ...

The picture does look quite a bit like Joe Malone. Who played for the Québec Bulldogs

I believe that is the great Joe Malone

I like these challenges haha.

I don’t speak French (took classes 20 years ago, didn’t stick!), but trying things out in Google Translate, I got something like:
“te raipexer le exploits accomplie taie deux dans le monde au hockey”, translated into: “you will be the second most accomplished hockey player in the world”

Makes me wonder who number one is?

Not entirely convinced it’s Joe Malone. Nor the Quebec Bulldogs, are there other examples of that jersey for them?

te rappeler les exploits que nous avons accomplis tous deux dans le monde du hockey.

translates to what tinyzombies posted.

The note may be signed by M. Raphael Ouimet, sports editor of La Patrie (a daily newspaper in Montreal) in the 1900s and 1910s.

Dammit, how could I miss that he’d provided that translation? I blame a lack of sleep and rushed readings through my work day.

Great find on who might have signed the note!

I think even if we think significantly younger than the usual Malone picture it is a bit too different to be him and not just the hair.

 

[Magicman]

Hair parted on the wrong side for Malone.

Based solely on the hair style, comment about being second best comment by a sports editor and picture, I say it's a young Jack MacDonald.

That's def not Joe Malone.
