Rough Game

After two months of no hockey photos, I took my camera to the second game in less than a week. It was a tough game and quite a loss for the boys. Even though hockey is designed to be a non-contact game at this level, much chippy, rough stuff goes on. This is true against some teams more than others, and Sunday night's opponents were one of those teams. Our guys are usually well-behaved, but they got their share of retaliation penalties, and their coach was not pleased.

I took this photo of the entrance before I went inside. As you can see, it was another snowy evening.

I stand in the corner of the rink and photograph whatever action comes before me, and I don't always get photos of JJ, but this is one. He seems to be doing a fancy cross-over step.

I guess this is my favourite photo of the game, but I didn't get too many to choose from. It's the unique contortion that appeals to me. That's Danica (right) and her step sister in the background.

These were okay too,

Win or lose, I hope the next game is a little less rough.
