Monday night was Jonathan's last game of the regular season. The regular season. Playoffs start (and maybe end for all I know) on the weekend, with three games scheduled. Not being a very strong team, they are in the consolation section, but that is good as it means that they have a chance to be competitive.
The coach switched all of the payers around for fun. They lost handily as a result, or maybe they would have anyway, but fun is important.
That is how JJ ended up playing forward rather than defence, which meant that I got more shots of him in one game than I have all year. So please excuse the somewhat excessive number of photos (and realize that I could have posted more).
When he saw them, he asked for this one ↓ to be printed. I was a bit surprised as it is not the one that I would have chosen. It does show him being active, but the play is away from him. I do like that we can see the bench in the background, albeit the other team's bench, but it gives the context.
Here are a few that I like better. (Reminder: #6 in white.)
 |
| In the middle: hunting down the puck |
 |
| Hoping for a pass and a goal |
 |
| A scramble and opportunity near the goal |
 |
| A head-on view. |
 |
| Hard after the puck |
 |
| A real chance |
 |
| In pursuit |
 |
| Concentration |
These are terrific. And how nice that the coach knows it's about having fun.
ReplyDeleteGreat action shots, AC.
ReplyDeleteSo, I guess its playoffs???
ReplyDeleteThese are great photos! I'm glad the team has a good coach!
ReplyDeleteGreat hockey photos. I was at my grandson's playoff game last night, lots of shouting and cheering and making a lot of noise. And I had fun. And the team won 4-1 which was a bonus.
ReplyDeleteWonderful grandson photos. You burst with pride over both kids. It's so good to see.
ReplyDeleteI do like his choice.
ReplyDeleteSeems like just yesterday when you posted his first forays onto the hockey rink and now look at JJ play.
