Hockey All Star Game

On a hot and humid day in the South an ice cold hockey rink is a darn fine place to be!

My buddy Theo had his All Star Game last night so I headed out to the Extreme Ice Center to watch all the action. I can’t say I understand the rules of hockey, if there are any, but it’s still pretty fun to watch. Plus, with this kind of crazy heat, its mighty fine air conditioning.

Actually, the game was very fun to watch. The ice center has plenty of places where you can take pictures, as well as a bar, complete with balcony. I ended up taking some pictures from up top then worked my way around the rink to get some more action photos. Strangely, the lighting is pretty dim, at least the camera things so, so I had to bump the ISO through the roof to get any decent action shots. The color is a little off, but overall not too bad. Plus, the protective glass is scratched all to hell so the camera had fun trying to figure that out.

There were plenty of spills and thrills, and in the end we got to see Theo get called for a roughing penalty. Hey, the other guy deserved it. Well, that’s what Theo said anyway.

But hey, they won the game.
