Hockey Season Has Begun.

I can't believe it is already Friday.

I'm still trying to get things together from last weekend.

You see, it is that time of year again.

Hockey season.

We spent the entire weekend watching Cody (29)

and his team play in a Labor Day Tournament.

This year will be an exciting one. The boys have gotten bigger and faster.

My plan is to immerse myself in hockey by taking many action shots.

That may come as a shock to some of you,

but that's what I'm going to do.

My plan has started out with a bang!

This happens to be one of my favorite shots.

One of the goalies on our team.

#34, Al.

Goalie Al and his family host two players from out of state.

One of those players, #88,

is from Colorado.

#44,

calls Alaska, home.

Alaska to Arizona?

To play hockey?

It's true.

#93, from Seattle,

has been welcomed into the home of

"The Canadians."

It was an action packed weekend.

I've got a lot to learn about photographing action shots

but I managed to grab this one of #19.

It a whole new level of hockey.

The testosterone gets flowing and temper's flair.

Players get knocked around.

Referee's intervene.

They get caught in the scuffle.

Player's are separated.

Initiator's are escorted off the ice.

Helmets are left behind.

Like I said,

it's a whole new level of hockey and I'll be there,

immersing myself in all things hockey...

and

you won't want to be caught with your pants down!
