My First Hockey Game - a photo on Flickriver

            I actually went to the stadium shooting with a 50. Not the typical sports lens but I've learned to improvise. I gave away my cheap telephoto as I never used it much... Funny how things work. Though i'm sure I'd have needed a much faster focusing lens... So thats CAD$2200... :(

McGill played University of Quebec at Trios rivier and won the game 2-1 scoring both goals in the third period.

This was my first hockey match and I'm glad I took my camera with me. I've become somewhat interested in sports photography since... This is where things get even more expensive... Sigh...

So apparently there was a sign of goodluck. 5 minutes into the start of the first period, puck goes out of the rink and into the stands, rebounds off the back benches and lands right next to me. YAY I thought. But as I picked up the puck, I looked back at the girl in pain who was hit on the head with it. So rightfully, the puck belonged to her and I sent it through the crowd. She said, "Thank you!"

Interesting fact:
The team in white is the OLDEST Ice hockey team in the world and wrote many of the rules before hockey even spread out to the rest of Canada and the world over.
