Photograph signed "Fred Stanfield", "Ken/Hodge", "Phil/Esposito",
"Pit Martin", "Jack/Norris" and "Gilles Marotte", all in blue ink.Color, 20x15¾. Captioned: "The Trade/May 15, 1967", with the players'
name in between the two lines. Numbered 34 of 300 in lower right corner in
unknown hand. ©Sports World/Sports Action. On May 15, 1967, Phil Esposito,
Fred Stanfield and Ken Hodge were traded to the Boston Bruins by the Chicago
Black Hawks for Pit Martin, Jack Norris and Giles Marotte. This composite
photo shows the players in their old uniforms (in b/w) and their new uniforms
(in color). It was one of the largest trades in Bruins history and also a
big shuffling of talent within the NHL, with future All-Star Hodge and future
Hall of Famer Esposito heading to Boston and future All-Stars Martin and Marotte
heading for Chicago. It was also an ill-advised trade on Chicago's part, as
they gave players that turned into the core of the Bruins' dominating 1970s
roster, which won two Stanley Cups. The Black Hawks weren't as lucky; in
fact, they haven't won a Stanley Cup since 1961 and have only advanced to the
finals twice (1970-71 and 1991-92) since the trade. Lightly creased and bowed.
Upper right corner is lightly worn. Otherwise in fine
condition.
