    cls - From your pictures I noticed one difference between men hockey players and women... in the second one and the last one the women still have their front teeth.

    Hockey is a very fast sport and your shots are sharp... nice work. I imagine it also would be difficult getting good exposures with all the white around, but your exposures look right on. Nice shots.

    True, for some reason the guys throw away the facemasks as soon as they get old enough (I believe the rule is full cover face protector until 18 years age). Soon after that teeth beging popping out. I'm not sure why they don't keep the protectors they are used to since 10-15 years but I suppose it's a tough guy's thing.

    Regarding exposure it's actually quite easy in this arena - lighting conditions are fairly constant both over time and room (location on the ice). This can be a totally different thing in other arenas. Nowadays I feel comfortable with the technical aspects of hockey shooting, but instead I'm practicing timing and framing. (I have lots of images of players' backs right after "it" happened.)
