This fine art print features the legendary Bentley Brothers, Max and Doug, in an exclusive portrait taken for SPORT Magazine at the start of the 1946-47 NHL season. As two of the most celebrated players of their era, the Bentleys made a lasting impact on the game of hockey, particularly during their tenure with the Chicago Blackhawks.
The photograph captures the brothers at the height of their careers, showcasing their poise and camaraderie on the ice. Max Bentley, known for his incredible speed and skill, went on to win his second consecutive NHL scoring title that season, cementing his status as one of the league’s top forwards. However, in a surprising turn of events, Max was traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs within the same year, where he continued to solidify his legacy by contributing to multiple Stanley Cup victories. Doug Bentley, a talented left winger, was equally revered for his leadership and scoring ability, consistently ranking among the league’s best during his career.
This unframed fine art print preserves the sharp details and nostalgic charm of the original photograph, offering hockey enthusiasts a glimpse into a pivotal moment in NHL history. It serves as a tribute to the Bentley Brothers’ remarkable achievements and their influence on the sport.
Whether displayed in a personal collection, office, or sports-themed space, this photograph is a must-have for fans of hockey’s golden era and collectors of vintage sports memorabilia. It stands as a timeless celebration of two players whose names remain synonymous with excellence on the ice.
