Playing style
editSéguin was a small player in stature who liked to play rough and mix it up with his opponents on the ice.[4] In 1912 Edgar Dey of the Halifax Socials was fined $50 by Halifax magistrate's court in Nova Scotia for assaulting Séguin in a January 5 MPHL game.[5] Dey himself died the following month on February 13 from chest injuries thought to have stemmed partly from his tussle with Séguin.[6]
