To boldly go where no man in his right mind would care to position himself

You have to be pretty bold to play goalie on a hockey team. Luckily, this guy looks pretty well-padded.

  7. I wonder if he is thinking " Bring It " LoL. Thats the first think I thought when I looked at the photo. Must be the way you caught his stance. Great Job. A lot of your photos make me feel like I was at the game.

  8. Goal tenders are so photogenic! Half the game they just stand there so you've got no issues with motion blur!

  9. I 'm liking these shots too. This one is so fine and so is the title. It must be fun to be able to use such high ISOs.
