James Ogilvie "Odie" Cleghorn (September 19, 1891 in Montreal, Quebec - July 13, 1956 in Montreal, Quebec) was a Canadian professional ice hockey right winger, linesman and referee. His brother Sprague Cleghorn also played professional ice hockey and the two played several seasons together.

[edit] Hockey career
Cleghorn played ten seasons in the National Hockey League for the Montreal Canadiens and Pittsburgh Pirates. He won a Stanley Cup in 1924 with Montreal.
Cleghorn was also a coach of the Pirates. It was during the 1925–26 season that he created the idea of set lines. He would play three set lines that would rotate. Before this, the players would only rest when needed.
Odie Cleghorn's brother Sprague Cleghorn died of injuries following a car accident. Just a few hours before Sprague's 14 July 1956 funeral, Odie Cleghorn, was found in his bed, dead of heart failure, perhaps induced by the stress of the loss of his brother.
