Following on the heels of last year's successful "Portraits of the Game comes Shooting Stars," a collection of rare, full-colour photographs from the 1970s, documenting the NHL's most glamourous era. Culled from the Hockey Hall of Fame, these photographs capture in stunning clarity and vibrant colour the great players and great plays of that tumultuous decade of hockey. Accompanying these 75 images are anecdotes and essays, offering background stories to the pictures, reminiscences by those involved, and fascinating hockey history. These photographs by Lewis Portnoy are the best of the period. Featuring full-colour, generally close-up, on-ice portraits, the collection documents a forgotten generation of the game, when, for the first time, the innovative use of strobe lights and zoom lenses could capture every fibre on a jersey, every bead of sweat on a face, and even the nuances of a player's personality.
