Boxing on Ice... Coventry Blaze v Cardiff Devils Ice Hockey

scott wiggins · 4th of March 2007 (Sun)

A few from tonights boxing, sorry hoockey match at the Sky Dome. Coventry face Cardiff for the last time in the league. We lost in the penalty shoot out but that came after the boxing.

1) Neal Martin

2) Ashley Tait

3) Rumun Ndur & Dion Darling

4) Post pugilism...

5) James Pease checks Brad Voth

6) Trevor Koenig

7) Face off. I love the eyes on the two players watching the puck.

Round 2 of the boxing match posted below. If we get much more I'll be looking for tips from Dwight and the other boxing photographers.

The penalty shoot out seemed boring after that lot.

The guy on the left in #7 read your mind about the eyes. He is smiling. Great shots. Man i hope mine look like this some day.

I've never seen so much advertising on the jersey's of athletes (besides cyclists).

Scott, since when did the EIHL become a boxing competition. When are you going back to shooting hockey

. Nice work yet again.

Amazing work man! What lens were you using?

I love the way the team mates are just standing back and enjoying the show in that last shot!

Superdiver:
Lenses used
1, 2 and 6 were with the 300 f2.8
All the others were with the 70-200 L IS f2.8

Tom, that number of sponsor patches is actually quite low. Ice Hockey does not get the funding that football does here a few patches will always be visible. European teams often have a lot more.

Alan - We've Manchester on Saturday who we had a scrap with and we have Cardiff next Tuesday for the British Cup Final so it could be a repeat.

Rich - The only advice I can give you is to read the forums here, get decent kit and practice, practice and when you think you've nailed it. Practice some more.

Scott -- very cool work. I like #7 -- usually don't like faceoff shots but the four faces captured here really make it a good composition, nice tension. but my fav here is #2 -- I like shots that show how a great player separates skating, stick handling, and thinking about the game into three separate things. great shot.

superdiver · 9th of March 2007 (Fri)

Do you shoot the 70-200 2.8 IS with the IS on?

cbock · 9th of March 2007 (Fri)

some very nice shots in there. little annoyed by the 'toilets' sign in the background of a few of them.

I also like #7 - well,all of them are excellent.

Hockey is a great game. It's a shame that some leagues still focus on fighting. IMO it takes away from the sport.
