some nice shots in there. 463 is really nice.

when shooting little kids playing hockey it's tough to capture faces 'cause they're short and they skate head-down. You might try getting just at the top of the boards and going for a more level shooting angle.

that 200 f2 sounds like a nice lens. drool.

Excellent shots, looks like the game got a little chippy around the net!

My two cents:

You've got a couple nice ones in there but I think your cropping needs work. If it's not the cropping then it's the image capture...your frame is full but the objects in the frame are not full......You've cut off a lot of feet, skates sticks, bodies.....Could you re-crop in portrait rather than landscape?

Also keep the 'horizon' horizontal - usually the edge of the boards or the lower yellow dasher.

I agree with David - get low.

Appreciate everyone's feedback.

Darcy- Can you give me a few of the ones you think are most in need and I will re-crop them. I thin the biggest issue I had with the cropping had to do with keeping the images with a 2x3 ratio rather than cropping them to however they looked best.

I agree that I should have shot some of this game from rink level as I usually do. More faces and less helmut would improve a lot of the shots
