Jimmy Thomson was an underappreciated cog in the machine that won four Stanley Cups in five seasons (1947-51), which coincidentally is also not as respected as their four titles in the 1960s.

Playing at Defense, Thomson was twice a Second Team All-Star and led the NHL in Defensive Point Shares three times.  Thomson was not a scorer but was an expert passer who managed to land in the top ten in Assists twice.  Thomson played twelve years with the Leafs, with a final one in Chicago.

As a Maple Leaf, Thomson had 233 Points and ensured a lot more did not happen on his end of the ice.
