Ulrich was deaf and mute, which led to a nickname that wouldn't be tolerated nowadays - "Dummy." Ulrich detested the name. Not surprisingly he preferred his other commonly used nickname - Silent Jack.
By 1914 Ulrich headed east and played two seasons in the National Hockey Association. He played with both the Montreal Wanderers and Toronto Blueshirts.

I am writing a book on professional hockey in Victoria and would like to do a short feature on Silent Jack Ulrich. I would like to know where you found the photograph and if I can use it in the book.
