Hector "Toe" Blake

Hector "Toe" Blake (August 21, 1912 – May 17, 1995) was a Canadian left wing who played in the NHL from 1935 to 1948, spending most of his career with the Montreal Canadiens after a stint with the Montreal Maroons. He led the league in scoring in 1939 and took home the Hart Trophy as MVP that same year, serving as Canadiens captain from 1940 until his retirement. Blake won the Stanley Cup three times as a player — in 1935 with the Maroons and in 1944 and 1946 with Montreal — where he centered the Punch Line alongside Elmer Lach and Maurice Richard.
