A member of the Boston Bruins for his entire 13-year career in the NHL, Jack Crawford was known for his hard-nosed play, which is why the Bruins never seriously considered dealing him. Early in his playing days, he helped the Bruins win Stanley Cups in 1939 and 1941. In the first of these years, he was the National Hockey League leader in Defensive Point Shares. Later, Crawford would be named a Second Team All-Star (1943) and First Team All-Star (1946). He retired with 178 Points over 548 Games, a good number for a Defenseman in those days.
