The Months Before The Ice Season
Whenever two or more ice men get together during the off-season the chatter reverts to the cold season sport of hockey. THE HOCKEY NEWS’ traveling photographer looked around this month and this is the page that he came up with. Not everybody will recognize the players in the layout but they are recognizable in many parts of the world.
