Joe Primeau played all of his ten seasons (1927-36) in the National Hockey League with the Toronto Maple Leafs, where he famously centered the “Kid Line” with Charlie Conacher and Busher Jackson as his wings.  

A clean player who won the Lady Byng in 1932, Primeau took the Buds to the Stanley Cup that year, and his playmaking skills were on full display with his three Assists Titles.  Primeau was also Second Team Al-Star in 1933-34, which was the last of three years he led the NHL in Assists.

Primeau was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1963.

A three time Assists champion in the National Hockey League, Joe Primeau was also one the game’s most classy players. Primeau won the Lady Byng Award in 1932, which was also the same season he won the Stanley Cup with the Toronto Maple Leafs. He would spend his entire professional playing career in Toronto and “Gentleman” Joe was considered one of those great playmakers who made linemates instantly better. Primeau would also become a successful coach, as he led the Leafs to the Cup in 1951. He is also the only coach in Hockey history to win the Stanley, Allan and Memorial Cup.
