Squeeze Play
Bobby Orr of the Boston Bruins is seen here on the left, along with his teammate, Wayne Cashman, putting the squeeze on the New York Rangers’ Jean Ratelle. In 1972 Ratelle was poised to beat out Bruins’ star, Phil Esposito, for the season scoring title, but was felled by an injury. Only Esposito, Bobby Orr and John Bucyk had before then had scored as many points in league history as Ratelle had managed in his shortened season.

Another Hat Trick--Phil Esposito
New York Rangers’ Phil Esposito holds up four pucks in the dressing room after the game in which he notched the fifth four-goal game of his 16-year NHL career. It was also his 31st hat trick which is a NHL record. The outburst powered the streaking Rangers to a 7-4 win over the Boston Bruins at the Boston Garden March 25, 1979.
This is an original news wire photo from UPI's New York Bureau of Phil Esposito taken March 15, 1979. For more information about collecting photographs from the SPORT Magazine Collection, contact Robert Patrick at 800-660-7791 or via email at info@lje.com.

Hockey Great Maurice "Rocket " Richard
Red Glare, 1956 (Maurice Richard)Edition size 50, archival pigment inkjet print, image 16" x 20"
There was once no glare in hockey quite so menacing as that of Maurice "Rocket" Richard barreling in on a goaltender. In this magnificent 1955 SPORT magazine shot, taken for a cover article, the intensity is visible in his eyes even though the shot was taken following a Montreal Canadiens' practice. The image is hand printed from the original 4" by 5" transparency.

Bobby Orr's "Final Audition
Final Audition, 1966 (Bobby Orr)Edition size 125, archival pigment inkjet print, image 16"x 20"
Having just turned 18, Bobby Orr, the wunderkind from Parry Sound, is caught in the lens of legendary photographer Harold Barkley as he gears up for one of the final rushes of his junior hockey career. Orr's Oshawa Generals (including future Boston Bruin teammate Wayne Cashman, shown here) would lose this game, played at Maple Leaf Gardens, 2-1, and, with it, the Memorial Cup, to the Edmonton Oil Kings in six games. The print is made directly from the original 35 millimeter slide.
Orr inspired the game of hockey with his command of the two-way game, which was unique for a defenseman. Defensemen with goal-scoring ability were not common in the NHL before his arrival. Orr was unique because he could score goals as well, and he influenced countless defensemen who followed him. His speed – most notably a rapid acceleration – and his open-ice artistry electrified fans as he set almost every conceivable record for a defenseman. (from wikipedia.)
