Photo of the Week for January 4th to January 10th

First of all Happy New Year!! Can’t believe 2009 is over and 2010 is upon us let alone I missed the last few weeks of POTW! Hoping for a great year and to start it off I shot some great events. Started the year covering the Notre Dame vs UConn mens basketball game, a great game and some great fun. Next up was and AHL game, Bridgeport Sound Tigers vs the Worcester Sharks, a pretty good game.

After the game I had to make sure all my gear was packed and ready for a flight, thats right I was on the move for a little bit. Anyways the next morning I found myself in sunny but somewhat cold Miami Florida. I was there to cover the FedEx Orange Bowl, there are a few shots from the game that will be in this post. Came home on Thursday and went right back to work, had some HS gymnastics. On Friday was a once in a lifetime event, the SunLife Frozen Fenway games. Thats right Hockey was being played at fabled Fenway Park. It was set up as a double header by Hockey East, the first ever womens game outdoors between New Hampshire and Northeastern followed by cross town rivals on the mens side, Boston University and Boston College.

This weeks photo of the week is from the signing of the National Anthem, showing the difference in Fenway Park in the winter as well as an ice rink.

There was some great action from the game although I was shooting from a non-ice level position so I needed to make the most of where I was. I primarily shot from the Green Monster as it game pretty good site lines as well as a good view of about 3/4 of the ice.
