REAL Outdoor Hockey

I had the extreme privilege to shoot the Whale Bowl yesterday...It was a good experience, but with it being 20 degrees and 40 mph winds, it was not really that fun. It took about 4 hours for my feet to thaw.

First was Army vs American Int'l:
1.

2.

3.

Up next was Whalers vs. Bruins alumni
4. Brian Leetch - One of the best NHL defenseman of all-time

5. Bruins great Rick Middleton skating against Dave Babych

6. Ray Neufield and Wayne Babych celebrate a goal

CT Whale vs. P-Bruins
7. Bruins Captain Trent Whitfield

8. Dupont gets denied

9. Can you spot the puck?

10. First goal celebration

11. Fight!

12. Winning shootout goal

I hope you guys enjoy these...feel free to check out the entire set and C&C is always welcome.

Well done! Thanks for sharing. This reminds me of my high school hockey team -- one of our road games each year was in an outdoor rink. Definitely not somewhere we looked forward to playing at night.

Kenny nice shots. Are you still using the d300s? What lens? I want a d700 for hockey. As you know I shoot at Danbury, I need a camera that is crisp at 4000 ISO or better.

This is the regular D300 with an 80-200mm F/2.8 lens...I might get a D700 soon too...but I use my D300 at Danbury at ISO 2500 and 1/500th and the pics look fine...For these shots I used ISO 1600 and 1/800th...Very good lighting at Rentschler.
