Hi all,
I recently started an internship with a local community newspaper. I received my first assignment today: Accompany the experienced staff photographer for a hockey game. Whether or not I become an all-around photographer in the next couple weeks depends on my success.
Here is the problem: I have been on a few sports shoots, but never hockey. I watch hockey on TV occasionally and certainly enjoy some hockey video games, but I've never seen one through my own lens.
That said, I have the following equipment and plans:
Canon Digital Rebel XT
Tamron 28-300 3.5-5.6
A basic flash
Here is a small picture of the arena:

I plan on going there tomorrow to see just how good/bad the light is and how my camera will react to it.
I know of a few of the problems associated with shooting hockey: Anticipation, fast shutter speeds, and low lights.
Any suggestions?
