More great photos in hockey history you've just seen for the first time!

[mrhockey193195]

According to Getty-images, this is June 1982, so I'm guessing it's the '82 NHL Awards Ceremony. (L to R): Gretzky, Messier, Bossy, Billy Smith, Bourque, Doug Wilson. (Not clear why Messier is there...)

Those six were the first all-star-team for 81-82.

 

[Nick Hansen]

Messier's father has that granite face too.

My first thought, too. You could see a mile away they are father and son.

1952 ca – After having scored a hat trick, a young Jean Beliveau and teammate are trying out brand new Stetsons at rue St-Joseph

I'm pretty sure that the guy standing in the middle is Punch Imlach.

Yeah, that's definitely John Candy.

Wow, I thought you were being sarcastic at first but it IS John Candy

1971 ca – L to R - Matti Keinonen - Veli-Pekka Ketola - Lasse Oksanen

1975/76 – USA – Tom Machowski (# 5). Not sure about the opponent or the other players.
But I believe the goalie is Blane Comstock and the captain is John Taft

August 17, 1981 – Borje Salming and Pelle Lindbergh

December 26, 1985 – Posted here not for the quality but for the rarity. I’ve only seen poor newspaper photos from Lafleur’s French visit. Guy Lafleur was invited by the French club Les Francais Volants to participate in a Christmas tournament held in Paris. Lafleur accepted and only wanted $ 1000 and airline tickets for himself, his wife and son.

The Volants lost 1-16 against Dinamo Riga and won 4-3 against Granby Bisons (QMJHL). Lafleur had 1+1 in the two games that he played. Not many people know that Lafleur suited up for this French team. Lafleur played with his old Quebec Remparts number (# 4). Lafleur had been retired for 13 months when he played here. Less than three years later he made a comeback in the NHL.

May 11, 2002 – Peter Bondra scoring the game winner in the World Championship final vs Russia with 100 seconds left of the game

September 28, 1984 – Rare and unique photo from Mario Lemieux’s first ever preseason game played at Troy, NY. Marty Howe (# 27) and Mario Lemieux (# 66). Both teams were playing with their away jerseys

Pittsburgh held their 1984 training camp in Mt.Lebanon, PA.


September 18 – Mario hit the ice for a two hour workout with the rest of the squad.
Pittsburgh had a total of 47 players in the camp.

September 19 – The team had its first scrimmage in front of 350 fans (700 capacity) who each payed $ 1 to see Mario play. Mario didn’t score but the crowd got to see a fight between Pat Boutette and Marty McSorley.

September 21 – Mario crashed into the boards and hurt his knee during training camp drills. Later in the afternoon he scored two goals out of seven goals in a scrimmage game. 425 people payed $ 1 each to watch the game.

September 22 – Pittsburgh lost their first preseason game 2-11 to Hartford. Mario did not play due to a sore knee. Mario was slated to play with Arto Javanainen (RW) and Warren Young (LW), instead Tom Roulston replaced Mario on that line.

September 23 – Pittsburgh lost their second preseason game 3-4 to Detroit. Mario was still on the sidelines nursing his injured knee.

September 26 – Black vs Gold in a full game scrimmage. Mt.Lebanon was sold out with 700 fans paying $ 5 each to see Mario play. Mario played with braces on both knees. Mario scored a third period game winner for the Blacks in a 3-2 win, plus added one assist. Aside from that Marty McSorley pummelled Tim Hrynewich who had to leave the ice with blood trickling down his face.

September 28 – The above photo taken from this game. Pittsburgh lost 3-4 to Hartford. This was Mario’s first preseason game. He assisted on a goal by Mike Bullard.

September 29 – Pittsburgh won their first preseason game, beating New Jersey 4-2. Mario scored two goals and assisted on one goal scored by Mike Bullard.

October 3 – Pittsburgh lost 3-4 to New Jersey in their fifth preseason game (1-4 record). Mario played on a line with Arto Javanainen, a right wing who was shifted to left wing, and veteran Rick Kehoe. Mario assisted on two goals, one by Kehoe and one by Bullard (a PPG).

October 7 – Pittsburgh played their sixth and last preseason game, beating Detroit 5-0.
Mario played on a line with Pat Boutette and Rick Kehoe. He scored the last goal of the game.
It was a patented Lemieux goal. He took a pass in full stride, fended off defenceman John Barrett all the way until he was just in front of goalie Eddie Mio, and then just flipped the puck behind Mio. Mario also had an assist in the game.

In four preseason games, Mario had three goals and five assists.

...and yes, this is all worthless info, but who cares, right?

Wait, weren't the Penguins road jerseys black?

 

[Robert Gordon Orr]

Wait, weren't the Penguins road jerseys black?

Yes, they were, but didn't they play on the road with these yellow as well?

Edit: It seems that these yellow ones were only used during the preseason

Nice colour shot of Sawchuck, they are all nice, thanks!

Since a thread on Leo has been started, had to look him up some.

Wait, weren't the Penguins road jerseys black?

According to nhluniforms.com, the Pens strictly wore gold at home in 83-84 (after alternating between white and gold for the four prior seasons). It's not uncommon from teams to use the prior year's uniforms in pre-season, which would explain this photo even though the Pens apparently didn't wear gold in 84-85. So Lemieux likely never wore that during a "real" NHL game.

Mario definitely wore the yellow Penguins uniforms in a real game, and they wore it on occasion as a road uniform. I distinctly remember the Canadiens hosting the Penguins and Mario was in the yellow.

Sometimes they would wear it with a yellow helmet, sometimes they would use the black helmet with the yellow uniforms.
