Bailey was one of the top left wingers of his day, but his career came to an abrupt end on December 12, 1933, when he was viciously checked from behind by Eddie Shore of the Boston Bruins, apparently in retailiation for a hit he had received from King Clancy moments earlier.
Bailey's body was hurled across the ice, and it was feared that he would not survive.
Bailey did recover, and an All-Star game was held at Maple Leaf Gardens for his benefit on February 12, 1934, the forerunner of the NHL's modern All-Star Game.
