Both hockey and speed skating are quick sports, but different in that one sport is very erratic and unpredictable while the other is very linear. The challenge for hockey, at least for me, is to get something different and away from the usual action as it's a sport I normally cover a great deal.

I don't usually use a wide-angle lens at the glass like I did here, but I was hoping to show the Olympic rings and the unusual occurred when the puck kicked up over the players heads and they both tried to play it with their hands.
