Red Wings photographer Dave Reginek actually takes the team’s head shots for the year in a the “game room” inside Centre ICE Arena, with a lovely little gray background set up where some of the video games have been moved to give a clear line of sight.
Everybody takes their turn, from every single prospect who takes part in the prospect tournament to the team’s superstars, and there’s usually one jersey–the kind of jersey that a large person could wear–that everybody tries on for their photograph.
The head shots are up on Getty Images tonight. More will pop up as the team returns to Little Caesars Arena, and there’s more time for people to get nagged, coerced or otherwise forced to take part in the affair (see: the coaching staff hasn’t gotten their head shots yet).
Dave does a great job given that he’s got a captive audience that generally doesn’t want to “smile for mom” or look sharp for the camera. They just want to get the photo over with.
