the good old hockey game …
Toronto. With fall comes cold weather … and hockey. Image collectors sometimes have a sub-collection of sports photos. All sort of games and sports photos over the years are candidates for collectors – action shots, individual players, or even team photos. Years back, games here were usually Lacrosse, hockey, curling or baseball.
These games have been expanded to football, soccer, and basketball. Until very recently (aside from the war years) the leagues have been male. In recent years we have seen a growth in women’s leagues.
South of the border saw mainly whites in the leagues with blacks playing in a separate league. Today the leagues have shifted to embrace all races and colours.
While our 2025 events feature all kinds of tasty things to augment one’s collection, we can’t say you will find just the right sports photo for your collection. We do know for sure that each event will offer an unusual item just perfect for your collection of photographica. In a few weeks we will be hosting the famous fall fair (October 19th, 2025), Details are in the July edition of our newsletter, PHSC News issue 25-7.
The title for this post is a line from the late Stompin’ Tom’s iconic hockey song. I should also mention he is one of my favourite song writers and singers.
