Harvey "Busher" Jackson was one-third of the famous "Kid Line" with Charlie Conacher and Joe Primeau that helped the Toronto Maple Leafs to the Stanley Cup in 1931-32, their first NHL championship since they were the St. Patricks in 1921-22. The left wing had 475 points (241 goals, 234 assists) and was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1971, five years after his death.

Jackson joined the NHL for the 1929-30 season at 18 years old and played 15 seasons for the Maple Leafs, New York Americans and Boston Bruins. He became the youngest scoring champion in NHL history (21 years, three months) in 1931-32 until Wayne Gretzky (20 years, three months) in 1980-81, and had seven points (five goals, two assists) in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Eight members of the 1931-32 Maple Leafs (King Clancy, Red Horner, Hap Day, Ace Bailey, Syd Howe, Jackson, Primeau, and Conacher) are in the Hall of Fame.

The Kid Line was one of the most prolific in the NHL for the next few seasons. Jackson had four consecutive 20-goal seasons and rebounded from scoring 11 goals in 1935-36 with 21 in 1936-37. He scored four goals in the third period of a 5-2 win against the St. Louis Eagles on Nov. 20, 1934, an NHL record for most in one period equaled 16 times.

Jackson had 351 points (186 goals, 165 assists) in 433 games for the Maple Leafs. The five-time NHL All-Star was traded to the Americans on May 18, 1939 and played two seasons in New York before he was traded to the Bruins, where he played the final three seasons of his NHL career, on Jan. 4, 1942.
