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.

Every NHL team usually requires an enforcer, and today’s game it is nearly inconceivable to imagine one getting into the Hall of Fame. Red Horner was the Maple Leafs tough guy for twelve years and seven times he led the NHL in penalty minutes. With that said, his selection to the Hall of Fame is another we will openly question for he was never even considered to be in the top two in Defence for his own team.
