Action on the Ice

Tonight I covered a game between the hometown Idaho Steelheads and the Stockton Thunder at Qwest Arena in downtown Boise. The Steelheads play in the ECHL, which as I understand it, is the second tier of minor league hockey under the NHL. Regardless, it is a ton of fun to watch, especially when I shoot from the box between the team benches. In this spot there is no glass to guard you from flying pucks and in some cases flying players. This evening I got stuck between a verbal argument between two players from opposing teams as well as an unfortunate exposure to ammonium carbonate or smelling salt, which was more unpleasant than you could imagine.

GOOOOAAAALLLLL!!!
