hey guys... i was fortunate enough to get to photograph Friday nights Aeros game and I must say I had a great time.
now this is definitely a fast paced sport and it was pretty tough keep up with these guys through my lens..
Canon 20D :: Canon EF 300mm f2.8 :: 1/500 s :: F 2.8 :: 300mm :: ISO 400 :: No Flash Fired

This shot was taken from the media level which is a pretty good ways from ice level so the 300mm lens really reached out there for me. The actual size of the original shot isn't much larger than what you see here which is about a 95% crop. This lens is a nice little gem and the Image Stabilizer was a little tricky getting used to. I also shot a bunch with my 70-200 at ice level but since the glass was all scared up those did not come out as clean as this one did. Hopefully I can get another opportunity like this in the near future. It was a great learning experience and I love to have a second chance at it!
