    Nice whites!


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

    #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.
