Nice whites!


So are these teams the hockey equivalent of farm clubs in baseball?
Lots of empty seats.

They are like the minor league for baseball is the best way to explain it :)

#5, just after the face-off is good. As is the last. You have faces and action
in both of them. Lighting/white balance is good too.

Do you have any wide shots? Shooting wide at the net will help catch a lot
of the action. Especially as the attacking player trys to poke the puck into
the net. Lots happens at the net. Especially after the whistle :D

In answer to fish's question, I went to the team website. I don't know if I'd
call it a farm team though I'm not sure. They seem to be playing in 5k seat
arenas and charging from $9-$19 a seat. Very family friendly pricing.
I bet it's fun hockey to watch.

I see another opportunity for some head shots for the team website.

It's nice to see the young kids able to pursue a dream that less than
1% of all registered youth hockey players will ever realize.
