Should I sell/give away photos of a game to the Away team?

Right now I'm shooting for a local upcoming news blog site. I do not make much money from it, but I do enjoy it. In the agreement I signed I do have copyright to all images and am free to use/sell them to others. Lately I have been shooting our local OHL team (ice hockey) and writing stories on it. Should I email the away teams for the upcoming games and ask if they would like the pictures? Monetary compensation would be nice, but I am unsure how I would ask about it. Somebody also suggested emailing the local newspapers for that town so they can have coverage of the game. (Most teams are hours away and won't send a photographer or reporter). Here are some of the shots.

Unless you capture some make a really great (and unusual) play or breaking a personal/team/league record they are probably not going to be to interested in paying for photos of themselves. Selling shots to the local new outlets in the visiting teams hometown is probably your best bet for making any addition income off of the photos. What ever you do, don't start giving the photos away. It sets a bad precedent, and once other teams find out you are doing it they will expect and/or demand that they can have free photos. If you offer to sell them some photos to use and they decline, just let them know you have them archived should they ever change their minds and decide they need them.

From experience, this isn't going to work that great.

Newspapers don't cover the teams photographically speaking at away games to save on costs, this is from the NHL to the OHL - and ad in every other sport besides pretty much the NFL and major playoff games. Even the playoffs what newspapers do is trades, so the home town papers photographer will cover both teams for both papers and trade usage and not pay a soul for it. Teams are pretty much the same way, most don't pay a team photographer in the first place so why would they pay a photographer from another area to cover games? It unfortunately is not as easy as it seems.

So, can offer the services but not sure you'd get many bites. OHL/AHL/ECHL all of the don't take quality images all too seriously and try to go the cheapest route possible.

Okay that makes sense, thanks for the input. I will see how things go, I didn't think newspapers would go anyways but was suggested to me. Our club pays two photographers and at least one videographer to shoot for them.

I wouldn't give them away, but I'd sell them.
