New HHOF Legends Exhibit Unveiling
Friday, May 2, 2008 saw the unveiling of the Hockey Hall of Fame`s newest outreach initiative with a brand-new 2,000+ square foot Legends of Hockey exhibit system.
Returning to the scene of the Hall of Fame`s first large-scale outreach display (at Rendez-vous `87), Quebec City, Quebec, the new exhibit, along with an interactive game set-up from Top Shot Hockey, was unveiled in the FanFest zone at the 2008 IIHF World Championship. Designed and funded in conjunction with the International Ice Hockey Federation, it celebrates not only the history of the game, but the IIHF`s 100th anniversary season. The new exhibit features 20 different themes and almost 200 unique artifacts (including Wayne Gretzky, the NHL`s Original Six Teams and the IIHF`s top hockey playing nations) and promises to thrill audiences with colourful large-scale graphics components featuring both the old and the new of the hockey world.
The World Championship FanFest will run throughout the duration of the tournament, from May 2-18 and is open to the public from 10am - 9pm daily.

Turofsky Photo Collection
The Turofsky Collection is the world's single largest collection of hockey photographs. Noted brothers, Nat and Lou Turofsky, began taking photos in 1907 and quickly established themselves as the premier photographers in the sporting world. Their spectacular and diverse hockey photographs truly captured the essence of the game, from the stars to the journeymen, from the glamourous arenas to the dank training facilities, all of which chronicle the Original Six era.
Imperial Oil Ltd purchased the collection on December 2, 1981 for $15,000. Imperial then donated the collection of 900 glass-plate negatives and 21,000 cellulose negatives to the Hockey Hall of Fame where they are now archivally preserved. Twenty-seven of these images have been selected for the exhibit.
Features:
 |
27 renowned black & white images |
|
1,070 feet of total wall space |

1972 Team Canada Photo Collection
The Summit Series of 1972 was considered by many to be the best hockey ever played in any era. The most talented hockey players from the Soviet Union played an eight-game series against the very best NHL players from Canada. It was believed throughout North America that Canada would dominate the series, especially since the Soviet's young goaltender, Vladislav Tretiak, was scouted as possessing minor-league talent. This was far from the case.
Leading up to the final game the series was tied at three wins apiece and one tie. Played in front of a hostile Soviet crowd, Canada went on to win the final game in the dying minutes of the third period on a heroic goal by Paul Henderson. The Series was so intense it evolved into more than a goodwill match between two countries; it became a war of political differences. The impact those eight games had on international hockey was immense and the creation of an international rivalry was born.
The 'Series of the Century' collection provides a synopsis of some of the tenuous and highly emotional moments highlighting the eight games.
Features:
|
25 colour images taken from the eight game series |
|
2 images from the Derik Murray Collection |
|
740 feet of total wall space |
