Legendary sports photographer Steve "Babs" Babineau will share some of his best images and stories after spending the last 50 years accumulating hundreds of thousands of photographs as team photographer for the Boston Bruins. He'll also discuss his brand new book, Behind the Lens: The World Hockey Association 50 Years Later.

About Babs: Steve Babineau has previously served as team photographer for the Boston Red Sox and Boston Celtics, in addition to the Boston Bruins. He also serves as campus sports photographer for UMass Lowell and Boston University, and has photographed countless concerts and special events at the Boston Garden. His decades of work and involvement as an employee, contractor and fan have paid off in diamonds. Since 2007, Babineau has earned championship rings with all five aforementioned organizations he works for. No other photographer in North America has accomplished this. His work photographing the NHL was singled out by the league in 2007 when it acquired his collection of 350,000 images. His images have appeared in countless magazines, yearbooks, sports cards and promotional items through the years. Babineau is the author of three books -- Black and Gold: Four Decades of the Boston Bruins in Photographs; The Hometown Team: Four Decades of Boston Red Sox Photography; and -- most recently -- Behind the Lens: The World Hockey Association 50 Years Later.
