As some of you know, I am a hockey fan and season ticket holder for the AHL Toronto Marlies, farm team for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Every once in a while, I decide to completely ignore the hockey game by bringing my camera with me, searching for those great shots that I can ask the players to autograph.
Now, this would be a hell of a lot easier if I had more skill with my camera (need to take that class) or perhaps the right lens. But until the time that either or both of those happen, I present you with some of the closer ones from last night’s game against the Grand Rapids Griffins (farm team of the Detroit Red Wings).
- Christopher Gibson prepares for a shot from the point
- Sniper Josh Leivo gets his game-face on during warm-up
- Tom Nilsson looks to make a play in his zone
- Lindsay Hamilton has some crazy eyes during a fan game
- Brandon Kozun head-mans the puck from the D-zone
- Opening scorer Patrick Watling warms up
PS We won 4-2!
