Product Description
From Amazon
For nearly a third of a century, the Turofsky brothers of Toronto--Nat and Lou--found magic through the lenses of their cameras, particularly when those lenses were focused on hockey and the original six clubs that made up the NHL. Innovators and master craftsmen, their stark black-and-white photos are still haunting more than 60 years after they were taken. This magnificent collection of 73 pictures, culled from more than 21,000 Turofsky negatives archived at the Hockey Hall of Fame, is filled with drama, brutality, and grace--like the sport it's chronicling. In addition to a lively biographical introduction to the brothers, Portraits of the Game presents each photo with detailed information about the time, the players, and the game played. Historically and artistically, this book has the force and fascination of a well-executed power play.
Review
"The detail is astonishing ... a stunning testament to the history of sports photojournalism in this country." --The Edmonton Journal

Great Gift for true fans of the game,
By Wayne G (Princeton NJ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Portraits Of The Game: Classic Photographs From The Turofsky Collection At The Hockey Hall Of Fame (Hardcover)
A truly amazing collection of hockey action made more compelling and awe-inspiring by the almost total lack of protective equipment. These still photos are action packed and full of movement. I gave this book to a hockey coach who reported with all sincerity that it was his favorite Christmas present this year. PS: Don't tell his wife.
