Slapshot on Wheels - A Glimpse into Early American Roller Hockey
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print captures a moment in time for a group of enthusiastic roller hockey players, circa between c1910 and c1915. The image, courtesy of the esteemed Bain News Service, showcases nine men dressed in their finest attire, proudly donning roller skates as they pose together on what appears to be an outdoor rink.
The team's members include P. Shea, De Barr, Myers, Brooks, Comer, Osmum, Smith and Sharp with Jesson completing the lineup. As we gaze upon this vintage photograph from Heritage Images' collection at Library of Congress, it is clear that these athletes were not only skilled on their skates but also stylish in their dress.
At a time when roller hockey was gaining popularity as "roller polo," teams like this one would have thrilled audiences with their speed and agility. The players' faces exude camaraderie and dedication to the sport they loved, offering us a glimpse into the early days of American sports culture.
This remarkable photograph not only celebrates these athletes but also serves as a testament to George Grantham Bain's exceptional photography skills in capturing candid moments from everyday life during this pivotal era.
