Here are some recent images I have taken at various NHL, World Junior, and College Hockey games. Shooting hockey pictures is one of my biggest passions, but it also took some time to learn which camera settings were best to use. When I first started out, many of my images ended up coming out exteremly dark and blury. Hockey is such a fast paced game, and as a photographer you do not have the luxury of bright sunlight that outdoor sports have. So you will need to adjust your camera settings to make sure your camera is able to handle the speed of the game, and the low light of the indoor...

I have always been a big fan and advocate for the GoPro helmet cams (see Moab 4 wheeling video). The unique point of view, along with the light weight design and high quality video make it a camera every pro or amateur video producer should keep around. This past weekend a group of friends got together for our Annual Fredonia Hockey Winter Classic. I created a video of the event last year (click to check it out), and this year we wanted to step up the video and add two GoPro helmet cams, and a few other camera angels to produce something really unique (the final video has not been finished yet).

HBO's 24/7 documentary series is the greatest inside look into the game of hockey and the NHL. It very accurately portrays the ups & downs, cheers & heartaches of a period of an NHL season. I have played ice hockey all of my life and will continue to do so until I am unable to lace them up. This ending scene of the series, which is shown below, sums up everything that is great about the game of ice hockey, and why I will always play. Learn more about 24/7.
