Captivating and intriguing is this vintage photograph that captures three of hockey's brightest stars of the 1930s. An arm patch on the jersey of Montreal Canadiens legend Howie Morenz references the Habs' back-to-back Stanley Cup titles in 1929-30 and 1930-31 and helps date the photo, which looks to have been taken at the Forum. The presence of young Toronto star Charlie Conacher alongside Montreal Maroons Hooley Smith leaves some unanswered questions. Wearing a plain practice jersey, Conacher appears to also be wearing the same Canadiens-type socks as Morenz. The photographer is not identified but the crystal clear image gets the beholder gazing for long periods at the uniforms, gloves, sticks and skates. Measuring just under 8" by 10", the glossy (EX) photo originally came from Howie Morenz Jr.
