Good timing on these. Exposure and color also looks good.

Good timing for sure. How many times have you shot hockey before?

Nice timing. Glad to see some images of the home team. I live 2 miles from the arena but have not tried to get my camera gear in for a game. Their website says "No professional equipment" so I thought they would stop me. I assume you took these with your 70-200 so they must not be enforcing this rule yet. I have been shooting pictures for the Jr Mavericks. In fact the season ending tournament is tomorrow and Sunday so I will be at the arena most of the weekend.
Keep your great images coming.

Well yes they are enforcing the rule. How ever I have been shooting the games and hoping to get a position with the mavericks. I am not sure how that will work out but I will know sometime in April i guess. If you want I could get you in with me. Private message me with your phone number

Thanks
Several times to say the least

What level of hockey is being played here where they don't allow pro gear into the rink?
I had trouble at an AHL game recently (1D3 and 24-70L), but my buddy had no problem getting his Rebel XTI and 2 lenses into two NHL games.
I don't understand what they are worried about? A wide angle shot of the arena?

Minor league, there is more to it then just taking photo the owners of the event center do not want people hanging around the glass and blocking the view for others. also there are no shooter holes in the glass, and there is glass in the penalty box so taking photos is very tricky

Here is a link to more great Hockey photos and some not so great

You have some good ones in your Flickr gallery. Where are you getting to shoot from? You have lots of different angles.

Yes, some nice pics in flikr. Is that an AHL team?

Shot the MK IV for the first time at hockey this wekend. It is sooooo much earier than the 40D! I was about 15 feet above the score's table. The 1st shot is at ISO 3200 the last three are at 1600. The lens was the 70-200 f2.8L set at 2.8. Shutter speed was 1/1000sec. Picture style was standard, AWB, High speed ISO noise reduction was set to 0:standard. I know that there is some noise but PP would take care of it. Being above the action is not ideal but it was the only was to get above the glass. Comments welcome.

It is called the "Central Hockey League"To the best of my knowledge they are going to become a farm team for "NHL" next year, but sure sure on details, right now that is a rumor.

Ok I messed this up. I'll try again. Sorry
