Between the Benches

Every so often during the Minnesota Wild games I’ll get assigned to photograph between the benches. It doesn’t happen that often because I’m usually 4th or 5th on the totem pole when it comes to getting assigned and since theres only 3 periods, I’m usually out of luck. But lucky me on Saturday night, there were only 4 photographers at the game against the Avalanche and the TV crew wasn’t assigned the box (wait, what?). Do to space restriction, there’s usually one photographer and one member of the TV crew assigned, so tonight we could get 2 photogs in…a rarity. So that night I was assigned 2 periods between the benches. Its still kinda new to me so I enjoy photographing there.

Pros: Cons:
  • You’re a foot away from the bench players
  • You can get drilled by a stick or a puck
  • You get to hear players chirp non-stop (sweet)
  • You have to wear an ugly helmet
  • You get some cool close up shots you typically can’t get
  • Players are always skating in front of you during line changes

Here’s what I got along with some excessive editing in Lightroom…enjoy and share!

Visiting Teams

As much as I like photographing the Wild (or any of the home teams), its always fun to see some fresh faces and teams come into town and change things up. Last night was Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins. Surprisingly out of the last three plus years I’ve been photographing the NHL, this is the first time I’ve had the Pens.  So here’s a quick gallery of my favorite 9 images from the game…enjoy (and share too)!

The Red Wings

I’ve been a Red Wings fan for quite a while now and it’s always fun when I get to go photograph them (don’t worry Minnesota, you’re a close 2nd). We’re allowed to be fans as well as photograph the games, right? Unfortunately there was no Zetterberg or Datsyuk (hurt) and Lidstrom (retired) so you’re left with a new crop of young players who I don’t get to watch enough of. So here’s a handful of shots from todays game. Enjoy Detroit fans…Minnesota, I’m sure I’ll post some Wild player pics soon.
