Pride Captain wins first ever POTY award

I have been working with the Washington Pride hockey team for the past 3 years and it was good to see that the Pride Captain Haley Skarupa has been selected as the JWHL's Player of the Year.  Great to see a Maryland player getting this award and recognition against the best players from across the US and Canada.

These Girls Can Really Skate (and Shoot)

This is my forth year shooting the JWHL Challenge Cup and it is the fourth year that the Little Caesars team has made the finals. Congratulations to Little Caesars on a great win and another championship.  The Kettler Capital Iceplex is a photographers dream for shooting hockey; bright lights, photog box with no glass and the rink is actually not freezing.

JWHL Challenge Cup - Championship Monday

For the third straight year, the Little Caesars team made the championship game, this year against a very skilled Pursuit of Excellence team from Kelowna, British Columbia. The championship game was close and at the end POE pulls in front on a few break-away goals to win the 2010 JWHL Challenge Cup. Congratulations to the girls from Pursuit of Excellence and we hope to see you next year.  View more photos.

JWHL Challenge Cup - Day 1

This is my third year as the official photographer for the JWHL Challenge Cup.   This tournament brings together the best in girls prep hockey from North America.   This tournament is considered the premier event for girls hockey with teams from LA, New York, Boston, Colorado, Vermont, and all across Canada.   The games are played at the Washington Capitals Kettler Iceplex in Arlington VA which is an excellent arena and a great place to shoot hockey.   My thanks to Kush from the Washington Pride to include me in this tournament.  He runs a class organization and teaches his young women what it takes to compete at this level with great sportsmanship and excellent hockey fundamentals.  The rest of the photos will be posted to my PowerPlay Photography site.
