24. Cooney Weiland

  •  
The first season that saw forward passing allowed in the National Hockey League was by far and away the best of Cooney Weiland’s career.  In that, his sophomore campaign in hockey, Weiland led the NHL in scoring with 43 Goals, 73 Points, and destroyed Howie Morenz’s record of 51.  That season, he would also win his first Stanley Cup.  

As teams adjusted, Weiland never came close to that number again, but was still a solid performer.  He would leave Boston for stints in Ottawa and Detroit, but would return for Boston’s second Stanley Cup in 1939.  Weiland would also be the head coach for Boston’s third Stanley Cup win in 1941.  He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1971.
