Andrew Samuel McManus (October 22, 1911 – July 1, 1976) was a Canadian former professional ice hockey player who played 26 games in the National Hockey League with the Montreal Maroons and the Boston Bruins between 1934 and 1936. The rest of his career, which lasted from 1934 to 1947, was spent in various minor and senior leagues.

Career

McManus was born in Belfast, Ireland, United Kingdom and raised in Toronto, Ontario. His professional career started in 1934, when after winning the 1934 Allan Cup with the amateur Moncton Hawks, he was invited to join the Montreal Maroons. He was then sent to the Windsor Bulldogs of the International Hockey League and expected to stay, but was later reclaimed by the Maroons. This move, along with the sale of Harold Starr to the New York Rangers, led the Bulldogs to dissolve their affiliation with the Maroons that started in 1929. In 1935, McManus helped the Maroons win the Stanley Cup.

After winning the Stanley Cup, the Maroons sold McManus to the New York Rangers who sent him to the Philadelphia Ramblers of the Canadian–American Hockey League (CAHL). Two days after the transfer, the Ramblers played against the Maroons and upset them 3-1, thanks to McManus scoring two goals against his former team. At the end of the season in 1936, he was named to the CAHL's all-star team.
