Some pleasant and eye-appealing results are surely what these vintage negatives will yield once developed. They measure 8” by 10” and are the work of famous hockey photographer David Bier. They date back to March 31st, 1954 and three similar but different shots of the ’53-54 Montreal Junior Canadiens which include captain Phil Goyette, assistant captain Claude Provost and a young Henri Richard sitting side-by-side each other in the front row. A fourth big negative capture the boys in a classic straddling-the-boards pose popular back then. These photos were taken at the Verdun Auditorium. There is a single shot of the ’54-55 Junior Habs at the Montreal Forum and two of the ’55-56 Junior Canadiens, also at the Forum. Richard is the captain in the former while Andre Pronovost is wearing the “C” in the latter ones which also feature Claude Ruel and Ralph Backstrom. Finally, there are two similar but slightly different negatives of the ’58-59 Montreal Royals Senior team, taken April 15th, once again at the Forum. Loads of possibilities with this fantastic find.
