Add a piece of history to your hockey collection!
Walter “Turk” Broda poses with his goaltending equipment. Like most of his netminding colleagues, the Toronto Maple Leafs legend, who retired in 1951, used goalie pads made by Emil “Pops” Kenensky in his sporting goods store in Hamilton, Ontario. The bigger more protective pads caught on, and Kenesky’s were soon the pads of choice for professional hockey goalies. Based on the design of cricket pads, Kenesky’s were made of horsehide and generously filled with deer hair and later furniture stuffing.
This historical image is complete with white faux matting. The print is framed by a 14” x 18” x ¾ high-quality MDF black frame with a glass front panel. The frame comes equipped with pre-mounted hooks so it is conveniently ready-to-hang. The piece ships with a protective acrylic cover to minimize breakage and increase the lifespan of your product.
