I was very surprised how many kids were in this tournament! Here is a shot of them all getting a briefing before the games begin.

Oliver played on a doubles team with his friend Oscar and they actually did pretty good, they even won a few games 🙂

At least once a month I like to setup an overhead remote camera in the catwalk shooting directly down to one of the nets. It is more work setting it up and taking it down, but sometimes I get an interesting photo from an interesting angle 🙂

A shot of my setup in the media room. Usually between periods I would run to the media room and would try to upload around 10 images, so they can go out to publications as soon as possible.

This was a funny moment seeing fans dressed up against the glass during one of the games 🙂

This was a nice goal by Artemi Panarin from LA Kings in a shoot out agains the Calgary Flames.

Usually when a players is playing in his first NHL hockey game, he gets to state a few laps on the ice all by himself in the beginning of the warmup. Here is a shot of Calgary Flames center Tyson Gross (39) during his rookie lap. I went up to a press box to get a nice shot from above.

First game was against the Toronto Maple leafs. There are a few teams in the league when it feels like there are more fans for the visiting team than for the Calgary Flames… Toronto Maple Leafs games feel this way 🙂

I photographed many empty net goals in my time and usually you can’t really do much, photo wise… But this time, it looked pretty nice, too bad it was the Calgary Flames that got scored on.

Second game, this time against Edmonton Oilers. “Battle of Alberta”… it was a pretty nice game and we event had a fight 🙂

Shot of Connor McDavid, skating with the puck.. took this one from the press box in the catwalk.

I feel like Tristan Jarry was trying to kill me, just look at the look on his face 🙂 This one actually hit the glass very close to my photo hole.

Funny moment when Calgary Flames goaltender Devin Cooley lost his skate blade and needed a little tow to the bench.

Zach Whitecloud takes the ice for the first time after being traded from Las Vegas for Rasmus Andersson.

Once in awhile I setup an overhead remote camera in the catwalk.. It takes some effort and extra time, but I do try to do a little extra each game than what is required 🙂

I tried to do in camera multiple exposure shot of the warmups… didn’t work the way I wanted, but I will share anyway 🙂
