Finally! Barring any playoff match-up, yesterday was the last time I see the Roanoke hockey club in Fayetteville. In this 2022-2023 season of the 7 games I've photographed, the opponent has been Roanoke. It was a special promo night, trying to sell out the arena. They didn't quite make it, but had a really good crowd! A few images from the night.
Shot with a Z9, 70-200 f2.8, ISO in the 3200-5000 range. Shutter at 1/1250. Only exceptions were fan shots. Those I used a Z6 fit with a 24-70 f2.8. Frankly I got lazy, put the camera in "P" mode and capped auto ISO at 6400.
I was bemoaning my lack of decent shots when it dawned on me the home team was very outplayed. While the final was only 3-2 it really wasn't that close. I shoot the goal they attack in period 1. The second period I focus my attention on the goalie and the final period the one they attack again. This night, up until they pulled their goalie with 1 minute to go, they managed just TWO shots. I decided it was a bit difficult to get a good image when the team was playing defense nearly the entire period!!!

Hate when that happens. I have a high school team like that, well honestly a couple of teams like that where I am hoping to get something that I consider usable.
Your shots are spot on as always!
