Busher Jackson
Harvey "Busher" Jackson was born on January 19, 1911 in Toronto, Ontario. The left winger began his NHL career with the Toronto
Maple Leafs in 1929. In 1932 he became the youngest player to winning the league's scoring title, notching 53 points in 40 games.
Busher along with Charlie Conacher and Joe Primeau formed the famous "Kid Line" and were key members of the great Maple Leafs team of
the Maple Leaf team that won a Stanley Cup title in 1932.
Off the ice, Busher Jackson was known for his expensive taste in cars and his fondness for attending social events across Canada. In 1940,
Leafs boss Conn Smythe traded him to the New York Americans for Sweeny Schriner. He played two years in New York before moving
to the Boston Bruins for an additional three seasons. Busher Jackson retired from hockey in 1944 and went through several failed
marriages and alcohol abuse. He died in 1966 but was kept out of the Hall of Fame due to Conn Smythe's dislike of how he lived his
life. It wasn't until 1977 that Busher Jackson was finally inducted into the Hall of Fame, a decision that saw Smythe resign from
the selection committee.
