McGuire again scored two goals.^[2] McGuire once again spent only one year with his new club, Paterson. However, in 1923, he went to his third consecutive Challenge Cup, winning it again this year.^[3] McGuire then moved to the New Bedford Whalers for the 1924–1925 season before closing out his career with Brooklyn Wanderers in 1925–1926.
