Great photos in hockey history you've just seen for the first time (Part III)

[Davenport]

Don Luce's NHL career began in 1969-70, with the New York Rangers. He played 12 games, and spent the rest of that season in the CHL with the Omaha Knights. Ahead of him at center/centre with the Blueshirts were Jean Ratelle, Walt Tkaczuk, Orland Kurtenbach and (before he was traded to theLos Angeles Kings) Juha Widing. Luce did play in five of the Rangers' six playoff games against the Boston Bruins.

... And there they are again, those wonky shoulder numerals that have no standard placement!

I flat out cannot wrap my head around someone being tasked with sewing numbers onto an NHL uniform, and doing that sloppy of a job. Their trainer must have made some sort of parlor trick out of sewing while blindfolded.

Almost as bad as misspelling the Great One's nameplate

Photographers from that era really had a great sense for how to contextualize on-ice action by making the crowd an active part of the scene.

It took me a minute to figure out that they're holding the sticks in their right hands, not down the back of their sweaters

Detroit's Silver Age.

From the 1960s until the early 1990s, the Red Wings' Golden Age was deemed to be the period from 1947-48 until 1955-56. During that period, Detroit reached the Stanley Cup Final seven times, finished first seven times and won the Stanley Cup four times. Each of the gentlemen seen here* - who wore the Flying Wheel at some point during that period - would earn himself induction in to the Hockey Hall of Fame. Ted Lindsay is the one notable omission from the image.

Well that looks a little different that the team I watched while I was there!

I didn't attend Mt. A.....I have been to the campus several times, though I've never been inside the arena.
