gold star for USAHOF

Playing for Toronto in three different stints dating all the way back to when the team was called the Arenas, Harry Cameron was an early prototype of the rushing Defenseman who could play make without sacrifice his end of the ice.

Cameron led the NHL in Assists twice and was a capable goal scorer who was also one of the first players who could curve his shot.  A Stanley Cup Champion twice with Toronto, Cameron averaged over a Point per Game with Toronto (1.11), a rare accomplishment for any blueliner.

Cameron entered the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1962.

Harry Cameron

Considered the first player to develop a curved shot (with a straight stick no less!), Harry Cameron was a brilliant rushing Defenseman who won three Stanley Cups. Cameron would twice lead the league in assists and was credited for the first ever “Gordie Howe Hat Trick” in the NHL, which is indicative of scoring a goal, an assist and a getting into a fight. How this is not an official National Hockey League statistic is beyond us!
