A member of the Boston Bruins for his entire 13-year career in the NHL, Jack Crawford was known for his hardnosed play and hence why the Bruins never seriously considered dealing him. Early in his playing days he would help the Bruins win Stanley Cups in both 1939 and 1941 and in the first Cup winning year 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.
