CHALLENGE.
 To get a unique hockey shoot that shows this tournament.


SOLUTION.
A couple of week ago I did a blog on the preparations of the lake for iceskating. I had climbed up into the nearby golf course and got a nice angle. The same angle, this time, would let me show action going on four of the rinks. I pushed my ISO to 800, giving me the ability to use a high shutter speed (500), to stop the action and a f/stop of 16, allowing everything to be in focus. Than it was just waiting until action was going on all rinks.
