We shot with 4 women this afternoon who are on a hockey team here in Vail. Three players and a coach. Ages 24-44. Everyone was laughing so hard and having so much fun that is was hard to get the serious plays where one player would be “checking” the other player into the boards.

We used a Hensel with one head for a backlight and a hand held Quantum flash for the front light. The best advice when working on a sheet of pure ice is to move very very slowly! I also remembered from a hockey shoot that I did years ago that the heat generated by the power packs would melt the ice and freeze the unit right into the skating rink. We had picked up a cheap flexible drink cooler that was just the right size to hold a power pack- these insulated the pack from the ice.
