As with many things, COVID has changed the landscape of sporting events. As the Team Photographer for the Rockford IceHogs for the past 10 years, I've been lucky enough to be one of the few people allowed in to the building. There are quite a few rules and restrictions in place, including a rapid COVID test every time you enter the facility, certain locations off-limits (player tunnel, locker room, on-ice and visitor's quadrant of the arena). As such, I've been utilizing remote triggers to get multiple angles to increase my footprint of photos. These are just a few from the 7 games we've had this season.

great work as always!

michigan and the city and the team here, is limited to 375 total people in the building (seating capacity of 2800-3000 depending on who you ask) and there is ABSOLUTELY NO moving around the arena. only one side (were not quite a bowl) is allowed seating, every other row, so im stuck in one spot. i cant get in to set up remote gear so everything this year has been from the same perspective...

the team needs so many people in attendance to be sustainable that they didnt bring on their unpaid intern and im just shooting for my own desires and practice. not much i can do really though in the grand scheme of things...

love your overheads! our catwalks stop about at the outer edge of the ice so while im overhead, im on quite an angle still...


-im just trying. sometimes i succeed
