Oil Kings – Warriors Game 5
I lost a memory card so I only have a few pics from the game. This Thursday the WHL finals start and I will get some pics of Portland and, of course, Edmonton.
Red Deer Rebels VS Lethbridge Hurricanes
This was the last Rebels game I caught this year. The team had been through a lot of injuries and tough times this year. Watching them down the stretch they didn’t have enough to put together a string of wins but they were always competitive and won enough games to keep their dedicated fans having something to cheer for.
I got my main lens back after being hit by a puck by a Red Deer player at an Oil Kings game so I took a lot of pictures. I’m pretty sure it was Charles Inglis on a dump-in but on the plus side Charles had a great season in Red Deer after some people writing him off as a discipline case. Anyway, I basically had two home teams this year, the Oil Kings and the Rebels. The Oil Kings are looking like a team that’s going to have some success in the playoffs while Red Deer has played their final game of the 11-12 season.
Anyway, enjoy the pics and check back for playoff pics from Edmonton.
Oil Kings VS Warriors
OK, so my main lens got hit by a puck shot by someone on the Red Deer Rebels, I shall find out who eventually… Anyway, I’ve been shooting with my backup so these photos and the last couple games are not with the optimal equipment, but they are still decent. I got my lens back now though! So on Friday I’m at the Rebels game and will be in Edmonton for the playoffs. Stay tuned and enjoy the pics… (more…)
Red Deer Rebels vs Calgary Hitmen, March 6
First off this was a good physical fast-paced game. Starting to see full-on playoff hockey in the WHL. I did a story on Calgary defenseman Jaynen Rissling who pretty much all scouts have getting drafted this year. Here is that profile http://thehockeywriters.com/jaynen-rissling-the-next-ones-nhl-2012-draft-prospect-profile-big-defenseman-with-big-upside/
And here are some Pics from the game. Enjoy. (more…)
Oil Kings vs Kelowna Feb. 22
It was a good game in which the goaltending was a bit shaky for the Oil Kings in the beginning and probably cost them the game. I am writing for www.thehockeywriters.com now and my next article will be on Henrik Samuelsson of the Oil Kings, so follow my twitter or just check in at THW for that. Anyway, here are some pics from last nights game. I had a backup lens because our main one got hit by a puck and is in for repairs. The danger of being a sports photographer. Enjoy the pics. (more…)

More Pics From Jan. 27 Oil Kings
I photograph the WHL in Edmonton because I write for insidehockey.com and it’s a great gig. Here is my coverage of the game from Friday http://insidehockey.com/kings-of-the-whl I will post photos from each game but for the recap I will refer to the site for the most part. Having said that, the Oil Kings are having a great season due to a lot of players having WHL career years. Great to watch. (more…)
