When you are in the Hockey Hall of Fame, it is hard to call you underrated, but in the lore of the Toronto Maple Leafs, Harvey “Busher” Jackson does not nearly receive the due he is deserved.
Jackson was the top Left Wing in hockey, where he starred on the “Kid Line” along with Charlie Conacher and Joe Primeau. Leading Toronto to a Stanley Cup in 1933, Jackson was four-time First Team All-Star, who finished in the top-six in Goals five times. Jackson would lead the NHL in Points in 1931-32 and was the runner-up the year after.
Jackson was known for a blistering backhand, and at times, a cocky attitude. It did not always serve him well, but he backed it up on the ice. After his play slipped, he was traded to the New York Americans for Sweeney Schriner.
With the Leafs, Jackson scored 351 Points in 433 Games, and he entered the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1971.
