About this person
Thomson was a member of four Stanley Cup championship teams with Toronto and also served as captain of the team. After helping to organize a players' association for the NHL players, Thomson earned the ire of Toronto Maple Leafs' owner Conn Smythe, after which Thomson vowed to never play again for the Maple Leafs. He was traded to Chicago in the off-season and he played one season in Chicago to finish his career; he subsequently became involved in business ventures. Thomson still holds the NHL record for the most assists in a season without a goal, having recorded 29 assists in the 1947-48 season.
