Hockey Photography with a "Net Cam" or "In Net Camera"

I had a little extra time shooting a WHL hockey game the other night, so thought I would put in a net cam for a period or two and see what I came up with. The first period it was in was totally uneventful, as the action was at the other end of the ice the entire period.

The second period was great, a lot of action at my end, with a few good images coming out of the net cam. Eight minutes into the period though there was some great action in front of the net, with the goalie being run by the captain of the opposing team, with the end result of the goalie ending up in the net, on top of the camera housing. Took the camera out of action for the remainder of the period. Nothing like having a couple big guys in gear running into your gear.

Action Sports Images by Gary Peterson is making plans for the opening exhibition of “For The Love Of The Game” to be held in conjunction with the Rockstar Winter Classic on January 15th 2011. “For The Love Of The Game” will chronicle all levels of the sport of Ice Hockey as played worldwide through a series of large scale photographic images. The images will be 4 x 8 (four feet by eight feet) canvas wrapped images, mounted on extruded aluminum self standing base.
