A very popular player in Maple Leaf folklore, Turk Broda was a two time Vezina Award winner who was in the pipes for five Stanley Cups in Toronto. Broda was a clutch performer who posted a career sub 2.0 GAA in the playoffs which was a half goal lower than his already respectable regular season average.

The first player to be named to a post season All Star team in two positions (first as a Centre, then at Defence) Neil Colville just looked comfortable regardless of his position on the ice. He came up with the New York Rangers (where he would spend his entire pro career) and he would soon centre the “Bread Line” which was consisted of his brother Mac and Alex Shibicky. Colville’s playmaking skills helped the Rangers capture the Stanley Cup in 1940, but the man who was nicknamed “Frosty” participated in World War II and lost a few years due to the war. When he came to play in the NHL he was a step slower, but still found a way to become very productive.

A very good Right Wing with the Calgary Tigers in the Western Canadian Hockey League, Harry Oliver was a solid goal scorer and a gentlemanly player (he never exceeded more than 25 PIM in any season). After the end of the WCHL, Oliver entered the NHL and became a decent player with the Boston Bruins and New York Americans. With that said, his induction to the Hockey Hall of Fame is a little bit suspect, as he was never a dominant player at any time, and his lone Stanley Cup win was as a complimentary player.

Considered a legend in coaching, it is forgotten just how good a Hockey player that Toe Blake was. He broke in with the Montreal Maroons, but after only playing a handful of games there, he joined the cross town Montreal Canadians and slowly worked his way up the ladder to stardom. Toe’s skills improved and he was rewarded with the Hart Trophy in 1939 and that year was his first of three post season First Team All Star spots. A couple of years later Blake was put on the “Punch Line” with Maurice Richard and Elmer Lach and he remained a consistent producer. “Old Lamplighter” would also become the Canadians Captain for eight seasons.
