Now, IF you can deal with shooting with a prime lens, I'd highly recommend going with a 50mm f/1.4 or 85mm f/1.8. Hell, you can get BOTH for the price of the EF-S 17-55. Now, having said that, the 17-55 is much more versatile, but the other two will both get you better images in low light or fast action (sounds like you'll be doing a little of both!). Also, I WOULD NOT IN ANY SITUATION PUT THE 18-55 KIT LENS ON YOUR CANON 7D.... that almost makes me want to cry!
