Photography 11

I chose Bruce Bennett because he changed the game of hockey as we know it. Bruce was born in march 12 1955 he went to W.T Clarke High School and C.W Post School of Professional Accountancy where he excelled and was the top student in his classes and got a job with a local junior hockey team and kept on going until he became the biggest photographer in sports history. Bruce and Wayne “the great one”gretzky and even was invited to the 1989 Pittsburgh penguins Stanley cup celebration party not as a photographer as a friend.

His most famous picture is probably either the one of the 1979 Montreal lifting up bob gainey who is also lifting up lord Stanley himself.

 

Or his other famous one is the one of the 2010 gold medal game in the Olympics when Sidney Crosby scored one of the most famous goal in Canadian hockey history.

Bruce has taken some amazing shots in his time that is why he is the greatest photographer in sports history and probably in general the best. It has been said by a lot of athletes that he is the most respectful and respected in the business. He even got some of hockey’s biggest names in hockey history such as Martin Brodeur and Wayne Gretzky to forward his book which is a great way to start a book   Bruce said ‘My passion for the game and my passion for photography is what’s driven me to ensure that I maximize every opportunity I am given to shoot”. When dynamic duo comes to mind who do you think of mini and Mickey Mouse, Shaq and Penny Hardaway but when I think of duos I think of le crème of la crop super Mario Lemuix and Jaromir Jagr and Bruce snapped the most famous picture of them after their 2^nd straight cup.

While I am on the topic of the Stanley cup. Lanny McDonald is one of the iron men of the national hockey league. In his 21^st and final season he finally won his 1^st Stanley cup with the Calgary flames and his excitement was beyond words

 

 My favorite team in the nhl is the Philadelphia flyers and they have the biggest rivalry in sports probably and after the infamous brawl between them and this is the end result

Chris Drury was a player that would do anything for his team to win one day in the playoffs round 2 he went down and blocked a shot with his face breaking his jaw but continuing and not even missing a shift showing that hockey players are the ultimate warriors.

Glass is a strong piece to get hit into a big hit and bam It is broken. Here is a photo too see how dope it really looks.

Hockey is a sport that has everything like the finesse of soccer toughness of rugby and set up of basketball and it’s a great sport including the big ol hits
