Hockey Night: Falcons Game

I'm channeling my husband while writing this post.

On Friday night I went with my friend Kathryne to watch her husband's club team hockey game. The Springfield Falcons Fans club team played right before the Falcons vs. Whale game and we stayed for both. Here's one of the only shots I could get of Kenny on the ice.

I was having fun trying out my D600 with my Lensbaby Spark. It was way easier to do this at the club game when I could walk around freely.

The first goal of the Falcons vs. Whale game was scored by the Connecticut Whale and it was a great shot, because it was a nice breakaway goal.

Shortly after, the Falcons got their first goal and 3 others after that.

This banner cracked me up.

I had a great time at the game, I love practicing shooting action photography. It's so different from portraiture and landscapes, it's a fun challenge. Just sad Adam couldn't be there with us! Hopefully he and I will get to go to some Pens games this year (hopefully when they're playing the Bruins), now that they're back and we live so close to the arena!

Hockey Night

Yesterday Adam had an early hockey game with his team, the 30 Racks, so I tagged along and of course brought my camera. It's been a long time since I've been on one of their games and I like practicing panning photography.

Get ready for some gratuitous hockey shots.

That's Adam in the middle. He's the goalie on their team (and apparently also Alternate Captain). Do I think it's ironic that their team gets their name from beer and Adam doesn't drink it? Yes, yes I do. I snapped this pic before the game started, that's why they look so happy and unsweaty.

With 13 seconds left in the game, the score was 10-3 30 Racks.

Adam's friend Chris, who has also been on the team a long time, asked me if I'd take a group shot after the game. So, here's the 30 Racks for the 2012 Spring Season.
