I'm going back through some of the images posted so far, and I still find that Sawchuk photo very striking though I know and/or follow very very little hockey. I'm sure I'd seen it before, but man, is that ever an attention-grabbing image!
Here's another one that I've always loved, though again, I pay very little attention to boxing:

To me, that's it in a nutshell. When something is truly "iconic," you don't have to actually see the photo to conjure the image in your mind, and in fact, when you do see it, you tend to not pay attention to the details of the image in front of you because you "already know what it looks like." That doesn't mean you don't appreciate the photo, but rather that you've already seen it so many times that your brain kind of fills in the details automatically.
