19. Red Horner

Playing at Defense, Red Horner was an 11-year veteran of the National Hockey League, all of which was as a Toronto Maple Leaf.

Horner was a meat-and-potatoes type of player who had no grace on the ice but effortlessly found teammates whit precision passing.  His true calling card was his toughness, as evidenced by leading the NHL in Penalty Minutes seven times.  Horner helped the Maple Leafs win the 1932 Stanley Cup, and his rock-solid defensive skills were a huge asset to Toronto.  

Horner was chosen for the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1965.
