We’re almost done, and number four should be a close vote.

Stanley Cup: 1932
Clarence ‘Happy’ Day joined the Toronto St. Patricks from the OHA Senior A Hamilton Tigers in 1924, and after one season he would be named captain for the next 12 seasons, tying him with George Armstrong for the franchise record. Day would pair with King Clancy to form one of the most formidable defense pairings in the NHL.
The Maple Leafs would win just one Stanley Cup with Day as a player, but when he retired he would become the Maple Leafs head coach from 1940-50.
