Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.195.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

[[Lieutenant colonel|Lieutenant-Colonel]] '''Sir Hugh Andrew Montagu Allan''', ((post-nominals|CVO)) (October 13, 1860 – September 26, 1951) was a Canadian businessman and philanthropist. He was the principal heir of his father, [[Sir Hugh Allan]], and became deputy chairman of the family-owned [[Allan Line Royal Mail Steamers|Allan Steamship Line]]. He was president of several major Canadian financial institutions and of the [[Montreal General Hospital]]. He co-founded and was president of the [[Ritz-Carlton Montreal|Ritz-Carlton Hotel]] in [[Montreal]]. In 1940, he and his wife donated their Montreal home, [[Ravenscrag, Montreal|Ravenscrag]], to the [[McGill University Faculty of Medicine]], and it became known as the [[Allan Memorial Institute]]. He is best remembered as a sportsman who donated the [[Allan Cup]], a trophy that is still awarded today to the Canadian men's amateur [[ice hockey]] champions.

==Early life==
[[File:Hugh Montagu Allan 1867.jpg|thumb|left|Portrait in 1867 by [[William Notman]]]]
Born in Montreal's [[Golden Square Mile]], he was the second son of [[Sir Hugh Allan]] of [[Ravenscrag, Montreal|Ravenscrag]]<ref>[http://www.mccord-museum.qc.ca/scripts/large.php?accessnumber=VIEW-4867&Lang=1&imageID=162637 Ravenscrag, Montreal, 1901]</ref> and his wife, Caroline Matilda Smith (1828–1881), daughter of John Smith (d. 1872) of Athelstane Hall, Montreal, and his wife Betsy Rae. From 1878, he was known as H. Montagu Allan to avoid confusion with his cousin Hugh Andrew Allan (1857–1938). He studied at [[Bishop's College School]] in [[Lennoxville, Quebec]], then in [[Paris]], before joining the family's shipping business, the [[Allan Line Royal Mail Steamers|Allan Line]].

==Business career==
((Unreferenced section|date=November 2021))
[[File:H. Montagu Allan.jpg|thumb|Allan in 1904]]
Allan rose to become deputy chairman of the Allan Line before retiring from the family business in 1912. By then, he was president of the [[Royal Securities Corporation]], the Acadia Coal Company, the Canadian Rubber Company, the Canadian Paper Company, and the [[Ritz-Carlton Montreal|Ritz-Carlton Hotel]], which he co-founded. He was a director and president of the Merchant's Bank of Canada (which had assets of $190 million in 1921) during its amalgamation into the [[Bank of Montreal]] in 1922. He also served as a Councillor and Treasurer of the [[Montreal Board of Trade]].

He served on the [[board of directors]] of several major companies, including [[Canada Steamship Lines]], [[Royal Trust Company]], [[Montreal Light, Heat & Power]], Montreal Rolling Mills, the Montreal Street Railway Company, the Ogilvie Flour Mills Company, the Montreal Investment Trust and the Guarantee Company of North America.

==Other interests==
Allan was Chairman of the [[Bishop's College School]] Association, President of the [[Montreal General Hospital]], President of the St. Andrew's Society of Montreal, Vice-President of the Montreal [[Rackets (sport)|Racquets]] Club, and he was one of the founders of the Mount Royal Club and the Winter Club. He was a leader in the [[Charity Organization Society]] and a director for the [[Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals]]. Allan was honorary [[Lieutenant colonel|Lieutenant-Colonel]] of the 5th Regiment of [[The Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment) of Canada]].<ref>[http://www.mccord-museum.qc.ca/scripts/large.php?accessnumber=II-195950&Lang=1&imageID=145178 Colonel Sir H. Montagu Allan, 1912]</ref> In 1915, he was appointed Lieutenant-Colonel of the [[Canadian Expeditionary Force]] and accompanied them to Europe, where he fought in [[World War I]].

Allan was an avid sportsman and outdoor enthusiast, and a member of a number of sporting clubs. He had a special passion for horses<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.mccord-museum.qc.ca/scripts/large.php?accessnumber=II-144764&Lang=1&imageID=144102 |title=The Stables at Ravenscrag, 1903))</ref> and served as Master of the Montreal Hunt, President of the Canadian [[Horse racing|Racing]] Association, Director of the [[Royal International Horse Show]] in [[London]], President of the Montreal Jockey Club and Chairman of the Montreal Horse Show Association. He owned a [[thoroughbred]] [[horse-racing]] stable, and his horses won several [[Queen's Plate]]s, Montreal Hunt Cups, Members' Plates and the Hunters' Handicap Steeplechase Cup.

Allan was created a [[Knight Bachelor]] by King [[Edward VII of the United Kingdom]] in 1906, and the following year was made a Commander of the [[Royal Victorian Order]]. He held the [[Order of the Rising Sun]] of [[Japan]] (3rd Class), after entertaining [[Prince Fushimi Sadanaru]] at his Montreal home, [[Ravenscrag, Montreal|Ravenscrag]],<ref>[http://www.mccord-museum.qc.ca/scripts/large.php?accessnumber=II-185093&Lang=1&imageID=144961 The Drawing Room at Ravenscrag, 1911]</ref> where he also hosted [[Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn]]<ref>[http://www.mccord-museum.qc.ca/scripts/large.php?accessnumber=VIEW-8768&Lang=1&imageID=165319 Prince Arthur at Ravenscrag, 1906]</ref> and Prince Edward, the Prince of Wales (later [[King Edward VIII]]).

Among other clubs, Allan was a member of the St. James' Club, the Mount Royal Club, the Forest and Stream, [[The Toronto Club]], the [[Rideau Club]] and the [[Manitoba Club]]. In [[New York City]], he was a member of the [[Knickerbocker Club]], and in [[London]], he was a member of the [[Junior Carlton Club]].<ref>[https://archive.org/stream/encyclopediaofca01montuoft#page/16/mode/2up Sir H. Montagu Allan]</ref>

==The Allan Memorial Cup==
[[File:Allan Cup.jpg|thumb|The [[Allan Cup|Allan Memorial Cup]]]]
When the [[Stanley Cup]] was restricted to competition between professional [[ice hockey]] clubs, amateur teams no longer had a championship to which they could aspire. Allan was a well-known ice hockey enthusiast, and in 1908, he donated the [[Allan Cup]], a trophy that would represent the highest level of achievement for amateur hockey teams across Canada.((cn|date=November 2019))

The Cup is awarded annually to the [[senior ice hockey]] champions of Canada. Like the Stanley Cup, the Allan Cup was originally a challenge trophy, meaning teams could issue challenges to the reigning champion, hoping to defeat them and earn the status of champion for themselves.((cn|date=November 2019)) In 1914, the [[Canadian Amateur Hockey Association]] (CAHA) was formed and the Allan Cup became its championship trophy under the control of trustees appointed by Allan himself. At the CAHA general meeting in March 1927, [[W. A. Fry]] requested to have the CAHA take control of the Allan Cup and its profits from the trustees, and use the funds to build amateur hockey in Canada. He felt the move justified as the CAHA had evolved and was able to manage its own affairs. His motion asked for H. Montagu Allan to donate the cup to the CAHA, and establish an Allan Cup committee which included trustee [[William Northey (ice hockey)|William Northey]].<ref>((cite news|title=Hockey Body Believes Surplus Funds Should be Used for Game|date=March 26, 1927|newspaper=Winnipeg Free Press|location=Winnipeg, Manitoba|page=22 |url=https://newspaperarchive.com/sports-clipping-mar-26-1927-1355141/))((free access))</ref><ref>((cite news|title=Control of Allan Cup Goes to C.A.H.A.|date=March 26, 1927|newspaper=Lethbridge Herald|location=Lethbridge, Alberta|page=3 |url=https://newspaperarchive.com/sports-clipping-mar-26-1927-1355143/))((free access))</ref>

Beginning in 1920, when hockey was first introduced to the [[Olympic Games]], the reigning Allan Cup champion was chosen to represent Canada. This continued until [[David Bauer (ice hockey)|Father David Bauer]] introduced a National Hockey program that produced a team of selects at the [[Innsbruck]] [[1964 Winter Olympics]].<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.sportshall.ca/hall-of-famers/hall-of-famers-search.html?proID=112&catID=all&lang=FR%ED%83%95|title=Honoured Member: Father David Bauer|website=Canada's Sports Hall of Fame|access-date=September 22, 2020))</ref>

For his contribution to the sport of ice hockey, Allan was made a member of the [[Hockey Hall of Fame]] in 1945 in the [[Builder (hockey)|Builders]] category.<ref>[http://www.legendsofhockey.net/LegendsOfHockey/jsp/LegendsMember.jsp?mem=b194501&type=Builder&page=bio&list=ByName#photo Biography of Sir Montagu Allan at the Hockey Hall of Fame]</ref> His cousin, Brenda ([[Andrew Allan (shipowner)|Allan]]), known as [[Vincent Meredith|Lady Meredith]] (1867–1959), donated the Lady Meredith Cup in 1920, which was the first ice hockey trophy to be competed for amongst women in Canada.((cn|date=November 2019))

==Marriage and children==
On October 18, 1893, Allan married Marguerite Ethel Mackenzie (1873–1957), daughter of Hector MacKenzie (1843–1901) of Montreal and his wife Martha Alger, granddaughter of [[Cyrus Alger]] and [[Hinkley Locomotive Works|Holmes Hinkley]], both of [[Boston]]. Lady Allan's father was President of J.G. Mackenzie & Co. of Montreal, a director of the [[Hudson's Bay Company]], vice-president of the Merchants Bank, vice-president of the [[Montreal Telegraph Company]] and President of the Montreal [[Philharmonic]] Society.<ref>[https://archive.org/stream/encyclopediaofca01montuoft#page/n207/mode/2up Hector Mackenzie, of Montreal]</ref> Lady Allan was a niece of The Hon. [[Frederick Mackenzie (politician, born 1841)|Frederick Mackenzie]] and sister-in-law of Edward Ermatinger, of Montreal.

The Allans were the parents of four children, all of whom they outlived:<ref>[http://www.musee-mccord.qc.ca/scripts/large.php?accessnumber=II-138499&Lang=1&imageID=143963 The Allan Children at 'Montrose', Cacouna, 1901]((Dead link|date=October 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes ))</ref>
*[[Martha Allan|(Marguerite) Martha Allan]] (1895–1942), died unmarried. 
* Lt. Hugh Allan (1897-6 July 1917). Educated at [[Eton College|Eton]] (where he was a prefect and elected a member of 'Pop') and [[McGill University]].<ref>[http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1917/1917%20-%200734.html Obituary of Lt. Hugh Allan]</ref> In 1915, he joined [[The Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment) of Canada]] before transferring and becoming a flight sub-lieutenant with the [[Royal Naval Air Service]]. He was shot down on his first service flight over the [[English Channel]], during [[World War I]].((CN|date=November 2021)) He was unmarried.
* Anna Marjory Allan (18 November 1898 – 7 May 1915), killed on the ((RMS|Lusitania)).
* Gwendolyn Evelyn Allan (20 April 1900 – 7 May 1915), killed on the RMS ''Lusitania''.

In May 1915, during [[World War I]], Lady Allan, along with daughters Anna, 16, and Gwen, 15, were aboard the ((RMS|Lusitania)) when it was sunk by German [[U-boat]] ((SMU|U-20|Germany|2)). After she and her daughters jumped into the water, Lady Allan<ref>((Cite web |url=http://www.rmslusitania.info/pages/saloon_class/allan_marguerite.html |title=Lady Allan's Biography at the Lusitania Resource |access-date=2009-08-05 |archive-date=2009-10-05 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091005075427/http://rmslusitania.info/pages/saloon_class/allan_marguerite.html |url-status=dead ))</ref> was severely injured. While she was rescued, both daughters drowned.((CN|date=November 2021)) Anna's body was never found, but Gwendolyn's was recovered the next day and returned to Montreal for burial. [[Rita Jolivet]], the future wife of Sir Montagu's Scottish cousin, Jimmy Allan, was also a passenger on the ''Lusitania''. Two years after this tragedy, the war claimed a third child, Hugh, who was killed in action, shot down over the English Channel in July 1917 while serving with the Royal Naval Air Service.((CN|date=November 2021))

Sir Montagu and Lady Allan lived at ''[[Ravenscrag, Montreal|Ravenscrag]]'' in the [[Golden Square Mile]] during the winters and at ''Montrose'' in [[Cacouna, Quebec|Cacouna]] during the summers. Sir Montagu also owned ''Allancroft'', a farm near [[Beaconsfield, Quebec|Beaconsfield]], where he reared his horses. ''Allancroft'' burned down in 1938.

After the death of their youngest daughters, the Allans spent less time at ''Montrose'', and in 1941, they sold the house to the [[Order of Friars Minor Capuchin]] for $10,000.<ref>[http://cacouna.net/montaguAllen_e.htm Cacouna] ((webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151102114249/http://cacouna.net/montaguAllen_e.htm |date=2015-11-02 ))</ref> In 1940, the Allans gave ''Ravenscrag'' to the [[Royal Victoria Hospital, Montreal]]. They are interred in [[Mount Royal Cemetery]], next to two of their daughters.
