Jimmy Thomson was the flashier of the “Gold Dust Twins,” but along with his partner Gus Mortson, he provided the defensive backbone for the Toronto Maple Leafs for many years.  Like Mortson, Thomson was a very rugged player, but he was a better passer than his defensive partner, and he would have five seasons of 20 or more Assists.  He would anchor the Leafs to four Stanley Cups, and individually he was a two-time Second Team All Star and was a three-time leader in Defensive Point Shares.
