NHL Players Off-Season Activities, circa 1961
Over the holidays I picked up this fantastic 1961 hockey magazine annual put out by the Hockey Pictorial. It's basically a preview the 1961/62 season and just loaded with photos of off-ice activities of NHL players. Check out some of the great shots.
A young Bobby Hull donning a hat to hide his early receding hairline. |
Henri Richard practicing his putting with his young daughter. Snazzy couch. |
Don Marshall and Dickie Moore playing some ball. |
Fern Flaman sporting a real sweet sweater. |
Jacques Plante enjoying a Canada Dry while wearing his goal mask for some reason. |
Retired Gus Bodnar enjoying a not-at-all staged breakfast with his family. |
Andy Bathgate working on his golf game at his Vancouver home as his wife replaces his divots. |
"Apple Cheeks" enjoying an orange. |
Carl Brewer working on his shovel game. |
Harris and Aldcorn spinning some tunes and having a grand old time. |
"TheAllan Stanleys" enjoying life. |
Allan Stanley and wife reading a book, riveting stuff |
My favourite photo of the bunch, Carl Brewer showing off his palmless gloves. |
More from the Stanley's, I'd give my eye-tooth for that jacket he's wearing. |
A couple of fringe NHLers with famous sounding names. |
Bathgate and wife having a heart-pounding game of badminton. |
