Playing career
Darragh played his entire professional career with the Ottawa Senators. He was a big part of their success, winning four Stanley Cups; in 1911, 1920, 1921 and 1923. Darragh's skillset included a particular penchant for clutch scoring; he potted all three game-winning goals against Seattle in 1920, and in the 1921 Final against Vancouver, he scored both goals in a 2–1 deciding game victory.
He retired after that Cup win, but returned after one season to play for the Cup-winning team of 1922–23, the third in four seasons, all with Darragh in the lineup.
He retired after the 1923–24 season and died a few months later due to peritonitis, which was the result of a ruptured appendix.
