Bill Cowley has often been called the “Wayne Gretzky of his day” in reference to his abilities as a playmaker.  Cowley would lead the NHL in Assists three times and win the Hart Trophy twice.  More importantly, Cowley would hoist the Stanley Cup above his head twice.

Tiny Thompson was the first star between the pipes for the Boston Bruins and was the man who backstopped the organization to their first Stanley Cup.  Thompson was a four-time Vezina Trophy winner and a four-time postseason All-Star.  He would also lead the NHL in Goals Against Average four times.

A charismatic and clean player, Dit Clapper holds the distinction of being the only player in the history of the NHL to be named a postseason All-Star at both forward and defence.  Clapper was a gentlemanly player, even though he was one of the largest of his day, and could have easily used his size to intimidate opponents.  Rather, he let his skill do the intimidating for him.

While many Boston Bruins were known for their toughness, Johnny Bucyk was known for his class.  A two-time winner of the Lady Byng Trophy, Bucyk is the second-longest tenured Bruin and is second all-time in scoring for the franchise.
