His nickname "Rabbit" came from his speed combined with his ability to jump the sticks of opponent players.[1]
He was the last surviving former player of the Portland Rosebuds.
McVeigh's service with the 16th Canadian Infantry in the First World War damaged his hearing, and while he was not legally deaf he had problems hearing everyday speech unless the speaker raised the voice well above its normal pitch and spoke into his less damaged ear.[1] He was also injured in his knees and in the chest, while with the overseas forces.
