Peoria Rivermen Hockey

Took my 7D and 70-200 f/2.8L and 300 f/4L to the Rivermen game last night and thought I'd share some of what I captured. The rest can be seen here. Some photos below can be clicked to see a slightly larger version.

Did they change the team name to the Prancers?

No, they were wearing a 'throw-back' jersey from when they originally started up in Peoria.

I didn't remember they started out as the Prancers? Good name change for sure.

No doubt.

Great action and nice detail!

nice angle on these, something other than the norm. Great exposure as well!

Thanks, TTurrill & JustinL.

Justin, the angles are different because I took photos from whereever I could without an usher griping at me. I had one run me off, but another wanted to see my photos and thought they were cool. Go figure.

that goes to show you, 1 out of every 10 ushers is actually a hockey fan! LOL

Yeah, the one that ran me off didn't seem like much of a hockey fan..

My favourite shot is number 7. Shows the concentration of the goalie very well.

Nice collection. Surprised that you had trouble with ushers, the few games I've been there this year haven't been that full.

Thanks, Chris! It was just that one usher, but after that I tried not to stand in one place too long.
