Norm Corcoran played four regular season and four playoff games with the Boston Bruins between the 1949-50 season and the 1954-55 season with 6 of those coming in 1954-55. He would later make stops in Detroit & Chicago but after 16 years of pro hockey he retired in 1966 with only 29 NHL game appearances. Corcoran would never get an official NHL card issued.
Lorne Duguid played his final NHL game, as a Bruin, in 1936-37. It was his only NHL appearance that season as he spent the rest of the year with Providence Reds in the IAHL. He had previously played with the NHL Montreal Maroons and Detroit Red Wings and had a rookie card issued, as a Maroon, in both the 1933-34 Ice Kings and Canadian Chewing Gum series.
Joe Jerwa was the first Polish born NHL player and one of only 6 up to the end of the 2015 season. A rock solid physical defenceman who stood 6'2", Jerwa played over 200 NHL games with the New York Rangers, Boston Bruins and New York Americans. Once again not enough to get him an official card.
Sylvio Mantha was one of the best two-way defensemen of his era and enjoyed plenty of individual and team success in 14 stellar NHL seasons including three Stanley Cups in Montreal. Late in the 1936-37 season, he was signed by the Boston Bruins, for whom he played his last four regular-season NHL games. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of fame in 1960. All his hockey cards were issued in a Canadiens uniform.
Jim "Peggy" O'Neill played 156 NHL games in the 1930s and '40s. After skating briefly with the senior Saskatoon Crescents he was elevated by the Boston Bruins to their Cubs farm club in the Can-Am League. He joined the Bruins in 1933-34 where he was a useful checker and continued in that role for the next two and a half years. His rookie card was issued as #67 in the 1936-37 Worldwide Gum series.
