The Junior A Regional Finals continued Friday night as Les Félines du Saint-Laurent and Les Rapides de Champlain met once again in La Prairie for the third game of their five game series. The game was a little more tight defensively than the previous game on Wednesday night, as both goaltender made several saves. The only goal was scored by Les Rapides late in the second period on a power play. It gave Les Rapides a 2-1 lead in the series, the winner of which will be off to Laval to play for the Dodge Cup. The old arena where the game was played, it's almost 60 years old, had much worse lighting than brand new arena that the previous game was played in. I had to up the ISO 
to 6400 for these photographs in order to get enough of a shutter speed to freeze the action. I like my hockey photographs much more when there is a frozen puck in them. Things also got a little chippy in this game as the rivalry between the two teams, which was already healthy to begin with, continued to grow. The first photograph was taken at f/2.8, 1/2000sec, ISO 6400 at 165mm. The second photograph was taken at f/2.8, 1/3200sec, ISO 6400 at 80mm and the third photograph was taken at f/2.8, 1/2000sec, ISO 6400 at 155mm. Here are several more photographs of the action.

The regional championship tournament continues this weekend so best of luck to both teams, and thanks to all of the players who have been nice enough to compliment me on my photographs. It's been fun watching you all play out on the ice.
