Joseph Wallace "Joe" McCormick (August 12, 1894 – June 14, 1958) was a Canadian-born ice hockey player, from Buckingham, Quebec. He began his career playing for the Pittsburgh Yellow Jackets, shortly before World War I broke out. In 1918, Joe enlisted in the U.S. Army. His younger brother, Lawrence, followed his lead shortly afterwards. Joe served in the Army in France during the war. Because the brothers held an honorable discharge from the Army, they were entitled to automatic US citizenship and on March 17, 1920, just five weeks before playing in the 1920 Summer Olympics, they both became naturalized Americans.
