Harvey "Busher" Jackson was a dynamic and highly skilled left winger who starred for the Toronto Maple Leafs during the 1930s. He was a crucial component of the famous "Kid Line" alongside Joe Primeau and Charlie Conacher, one of the most dominant scoring trios of the NHL's early era. Known for his effortless skating, exceptional speed, and powerful backhand shot, Jackson led the NHL in scoring in the 1931–32 season, becoming the youngest player in league history to win the scoring title at that time.

That season culminated in Jackson helping the Maple Leafs win their first Stanley Cup under the Maple Leaf Gardens banner. A four-time First-Team All-Star, his offensive production and attacking style of play made him a perennial star. Despite off-ice troubles that delayed his recognition, his on-ice excellence was ultimately honored. He was posthumously inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1971.
