Fred G. "Steamer" Maxwell (May 19, 1890 - September 11, 1975) was a Canadian amateur ice hockey player. A defenceman, Maxwell played for the Winnipeg Monarchs. He led the Monarchs to the 1915 Allan Cup. Maxwell coached the Winnipeg Falcons to a gold medal at the 1920 Summer Olympics. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1962.
Steamer, though offered many opportunities to play professional hockey, was one of the best players of his day. He always turned down professional opportunities because he wanted to remain an amateur.[1]
