Thanks man and maybe one day, if this team ever gets turned around! Ha!

as a diehard hockey fan in Canada I have to say that Carolina surprises me with how loud their building is.

well done on getting NHL cred, that's really exciting! Good for you!! :)

Wow, luckily the RBC Center has 8 holes and plenty of 1st level room for us to shoot from and maybe 5-6 photographers at most for every game. Sounds like it's busy up in NY!

Last season there were like 13 holes, if not more. About 4 on each corner. After the renovation 3 corners have 2 holes, and 1 corner only one. Last season I usually found a free hole, now they have photogs switching between periods.

Holes in the protective plexiglass around the ice so you don't have to shoot through them.

huh, I've never noticed them on TV and I've never been to a live game before. So, it's just wide enough for a 70-200? With my luck, I'm sure the second I put my lens through that hole the puck would come flying at it and break it into smithereens.

Here's what it looks like. You wouldn't need more than a 70-200, especially with any crop factor.

thanks for the photo. Do they all have tape like that? I'm so surprised I've never seen that on TV. I watch the Bruins all the time.

You won't notice them unless you're looking for them and even then you might not see them.

Just like the flashes. If you watch closely, you will see the arena strobes go off. And since you read this, you will not be able to watch a game without noticing them. lol

Such a true statement here. I notice them whenever I watch a game and point it out.

The holes at where I shoot we have a piece that replaces the glass when we are not using them so there isn't always a hole. We have a piece we have to remove

Last season at MSG they used the velcro, but now it's more advanced and you have to lock it into place...and its on a wire rope, so you can't steal it. lol

Just be persistent and it helps to find out who the team photographer is and get in touch with him. Can be a huge benefit for you.

Haha I've had my fair share of having to sneak a lens into a game or two but now I don't have to worry about it!

Yea ours lock into place and then we just put them on the ground but they are very annoying and hard to get back into the perfect spot haha
