Framed Hockey Prints
Hockey is the national sport in Canada and extremely popular in the United States and other European countries, but it was played for the first time more than 2000 years ago. The passion for the game only grew over the last decade and FramedArt.com celebrates the best teams and the most memorable events with its collection of framed hockey posters.
The North American hockey league is widely regarded as the strongest championship in the world and its athletes are featured in most of these prints.
The Original Six teams are the ones that have the most fans, with more than a century of existence and countless Stanley cups won over the span. Montréal was the first hockey team founded, followed closely by Toronto, while Boston, Chicago, Detroit and the New York Rangers followed suit on the other side of the border. The framed hockey posters are frequently centered on the Stanley Cup finals, with the New York Rangers’ victory in 1994 and the Boston Bruins’ triumph in 2011 enjoying ample coverage.
Hockey is a team game and the contribution of each player is essential for the well-being of the squad, but some athletes stand out from the crowd. Sidney Crosby, Alex Ovechkin and Patrick Kane are just a few of the superstars that grace the ice every year and they are a frequent sight in the framed hockey prints. Artwork also celebrates the accomplishments of legendary players such as Bobby Orr and Gordie Howe who have retired but are fondly remembered by the fans.
