Our fine art photography – originally featured in SPORT Magazine – brings your favourite sporting legends to life in print form! Each image is exclusive to our gallery and stems from the physical negative.
This Open Edition Print (OEP) features legendary goalie Jacques Plante. A six-time Stanley Cup champion and seven-time Vezina Trophy winner (for top goaltender), Plante is best known for his years with the Montreal Canadiens, though he also played for the Rangers, Maple Leafs, Blues, and Bruins in the NHL. He’s also known for being the first goalie to use a mask in-game, in 1959. His coach at the time, Toe Blake, didn’t approve of this protective wear as he thought it would limit the goalie’s vision. But, after Plante won 18-straight games with it on, the mask would stay for good.
Production time may take 1-2 weeks as most prints are made to order; please contact us via email (hello@thesportgallery) if you need your order rushed.
Due to the small file size, images featured here may be low quality – the final product will be vivid and sharp.
Quality
Each reproduction is printed on 100% Hahnemuhle cotton rag paper using UltraChrome K3 pigmented inks and produced to the highest standard of archival quality available.
All frames are made to order. Framing is done by hand in Toronto and takes 2-5 business days, depending on the timing. We use only the highest archival quality framing materials, from acid-free matting, to conservation glass, to ensure our prints last many lifetimes. We use ArtCare mountboard and matboard, Tru Vue UV-coated conservation glass, and black Roma solid poplar frames from Italy. All of our materials meet museum standards for fade resistance and durability.
