Stats: 717GP - 15G - 208A - 223Pts - 845PM
Stanley Cup: 1947, 48, 49, 51

Jimmy Thomson joined the Maple Leafs out of junior, but spend most of the 45-46 season with the Pittsburgh Hornets. Spanning twelve seasons with the Maple Leafs, he would be a solid contributor on defense, not very showy on the offense though. A loyal and committed Maple Leaf, he helped the team win four Stanley Cups, and was part of the organizing committee for Ted Lindsay’s attempts at forming a players union.
