Five Minutes For Fighting

Before my Mom or anyone else out there gets upset about the violence being presented on this page, both 'combatants' were just playing around.  This happened over the weekend at the Classique Montréalaise.  A city wide hockey tournament being held as part of the celebration for the 375th anniversary of the city.  Teams from all of the boroughs were represented and the action was hot and heavy.  In this particular situation, it serves a good lesson that you probably shouldn't mess with the referee.  As a photographer, it is important to sometimes be lucky and be in the right place at the right time.  You never know when a good fake fight will break out.  The first photograph was taken at f/5.6, 1/800sec ISO 400 at 70mm.  Here are a few more.

f/5.6, 1/1000sec, ISO 400 at 46mm

f/5.6, 1/1250sec ISO 400 at 46mm

f/5.6, 1/1250sec, ISO 400 at 46mm

Both got five minutes for fighting, but I think the guy with the red tuque might have also gotten an extra two minutes for instigating and a game misconduct.  The ref had a size advantage and used it to win the fight on my scorecard.
