Bruce Bennett, a 69-year-old from Old Bethpage, New York, has had a remarkable career as a photographer, capturing some of the most iconic moments in NHL history. With a house filled with signed jerseys, sticks, and photos from legends like Wayne Gretzky, Bennett’s passion for hockey shines through in every corner of his home.

Having photographed over 5,000 NHL games, including 44 Stanley Cup deciders, Bennett’s expertise in capturing the essence of the game is unparalleled. His unique approach to photography, such as setting up remote cameras above the rink or at the base of the net, has led to some stunning shots that have become synonymous with key moments in hockey history.

One of Bennett’s favorite photos is of New York Islanders goalie Semyon Varlamov, captured from above the rink. This innovative perspective, achieved by attaching a remote camera to the rafters, offers a different view of the game and adds a dynamic element to his portfolio. Bennett’s ability to think outside the box and experiment with different angles sets his work apart from others in the field.

Another standout photo is of Detroit Red Wings’ Steve Yzerman leaning on the boards in 1984, taken from the old photo boxes at Nassau Coliseum. This close-up shot captures the intensity of the game and the emotions of the players, providing a unique glimpse into the world of professional hockey.

Bennett’s dedication to his craft is evident in every photo he takes, whether it’s capturing a shared jersey moment between Rangers goalies Mike Richter and John Vanbiesbrouck or immortalizing Sidney Crosby’s overtime goal in the 2010 Olympic gold medal game. Each image tells a story, evoking emotions and memories that resonate with hockey fans around the world.

From capturing the thrill of victory to the agony of defeat, his work transcends mere photography and becomes a visual narrative of the sport he loves. With a career spanning over five decades, Bruce Bennett’s legacy as a hockey photographer is firmly cemented in the annals of the game’s history.
