This past weekend I went and covered both of the UMD Men's Hockey games against St. Cloud State as a photographer with Andrew Craig from
Collegehockeyhighhorse.com. Andrew Nippert also went as a photographer for the Saturday Night game. I spent most of the games looking through a camera lens which does cause you to lose some perspective of what is going one, but none the less was able to watch some as well. Unfortunately for UMD it was not their best effort of the season, but in reality they didn't seem to play that bad. They ended up losing Friday night 2-1 and Saturday's result was a 3-3 tie. One definate negative was the powerplay, which just can not stop anybody right now.
UMD seemed to have a tough time playing the angles in the beginning of both games. We also noticed throughout the games that on more several ocassions a UMD player was anticipating the puck to be in a different place, this had to be due to the Olympic ice sheet at the National Sports Center. Speaking of the National Sports Center it will be nice to have some renovations done to it, asof right now it just a concrete box that is not all that pleasing for watching hockey games. Enjoy a few pictures from the games and be sure to checkout
