Had to include a picture of the colorful red, white and blue WHA referee jerseys like that of Bob Kolari. When I was in my much younger days attending games to watch the Winnipeg Jets, I remember thinking the referee jerseys were pretty cool as they really stood out compared to the black and white striped jerseys worn by the linesmen and those worn by the NHL referees.

OP had great photos. Those team photos posted after aren't very interesting, and they're readily available.
That Worsley pic is one of the best I've seen in a while. His head is under the crossbar, ie. on the line of fire. Crazy!

I first remember Gumpsaying this when I was a kid, and almost 50 years later, it still reonates in my head:

"My face is my mask."

When men were men, and many of us mice... lol

If you search enough of Gump and Johnny Bower, you'll see neither had a tooth left in their mouth.

Hella tough way to make a living, yet both played into their forties...

My apologies for this mistake but the rink was actually in Rusholme, England though The original MSG did have an artificial Ice Rink in 1879.
