There have been some odd places I've shot hockey from.

Hockey is so fun to shoot! I really like the second one!

Don't pi$$ me off, I am running out of room to store the bodies...

How I spent the Monday holiday - watching hockey and scanning photos.

Maybe he's a relative of the owner :P
Agree 100% about the "glass". I shoot ball hockey in a small rink. Fortunately, the town was named Hockeytown in a national (Canadian) contest by Kraft and did get some cash for upgrades. "Glass up about 5 ft above the single row of seats on the side and then net. I get close to the net and can get some OK shots but the lighting is substandard, especially when the white ice is replaced by grey concrete.

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

I won't tell him you said so! LOL He might just be glad the guys got off the couch and did something. Yeah, I'm familiar with the Kraft promotion (I have the Center Ice cable package so get the CBC Hockey Night broadcasts). Nice that someplace near you got picked for that.

Some of these were taken in our Gardens which was modeled after Maple Leaf Gardens, esp. the interior - visiting players used to comment on it. King Clancy coached here in the 50's - on the bench in the photos that show the players chatting during practice. We don't have a minor league team there now, but lots of high schools etc. skating there.

Speaking of oddities, trying to photograph 'Grapes' in some of those jackets he wears would probably wreak havoc w/a camera!
