Ice hockey has to be the most frustrating sport to shoot :). After about a 1,000 tries, my first decent body-check shot, * beams * placed by Son Zach. Hence, the title Separation - the goal of a good check is to separate the player from the puck.
I was shooting this set through the glass. Originally I was bouncing the flash about 60 degrees to help fill in but I was getting too much splash/glare from the glass. No idea, besides strobes, how to fix that.
Glass was dirty, so I learned best to have one of the kids clean it from the ice-side before the game :).
Not very happy with the noise in the photo. Not sure of any techniques to clean that up.
Any constructive comments, techniques or recommendations are appreciated.

Wonderful image. 5+.

Good shot. My game shots are, as you say, challenging and blurry.

Wow, you can almost hear the CRUNCH of this shot. OUCH! I don't really have experience with the sports photography, but definitely persist with it. I love pictures that show the moment of impact. Keep it up.
