Hockey Hall of Famers: Event Photography, Pastime Sports and Games
With NHL hockey finally getting back together, it seems like a good time for a nice hockey related blog, but free from all the whines and bothers of modern hockey, I figure I should share some images of players who made quite a bit less than one tenth what the athletes today make. I’ve worked with Pastime Sports quite extensively over the past few months, and a little in the past, however these last few months have been some of the best for shooting I’ve had. I have the opportunity to meet and photograph some of the best hockey players who ever lived. As of the writing of this post, the most recent was Hall of Famer Henri ‘Pocket Rocket’ Richard, the younger brother of Maurice ‘The Rocket’ Richard. Henri, at age 76 is as full of life as anyone I have ever met.
Henri Richard signing a scale model Stanley Cup with the dates he won it. Henri holds the record for more cups than any other player, earning them all with the Montreal Canadiens. The total stands at 11, and won’t likely be a record soon broken.
