John Patrick "Jack, Doctor" Brannen (September 13, 1874 – October 25, 1964) was a Canadian amateur ice hockey player who was active in the late 1890s and early 1900s. Brannen played as a rover, a position between defense and attack, for the Montreal Shamrocks in the AHAC and CAHL between 1896 and 1901. He won two Stanley Cups with the Shamrocks, in 1899 and 1900.[2][3] Brannen also played with the Shamrocks in a Stanley Cup challenge series in 1901, but the team lost to the Winnipeg Victorias.[4]
Brannen was born in Kenmore, Ontario in 1874. After his career in ice hockey he moved to northern New York where he worked as a medical doctor, though he occasionally acted as an umpire at hockey games in Montreal.[5][6] He died in 1964, 90 years old.[7]
