2) If possible, set white balance at the rink. You can do it in post, but I rather get it right in camera

These were shot this past Monday night (11/4/13). These were all shot RAW to give me as much possible leeway in post processing.

#2 - Action, Puck - yes, Face - not so much. I liked the composition and flow.

An "accurate" reproduction of a scene and a good photograph are often two different things.
