Essex vs. South Burlington Girls Hockey 12/10/11

  On Saturday night I got an assignment to shoot the Essex vs. South Burlington girls high school hockey game for the Burlington Free Press.
 
  Sometimes things don't go as planned.  The game was scheduled for 5:15pm so I decided to get to the rink early to scope things out and look for some feature photos before the game.  I showed up at Leddy ice rink thinking I had plenty of time.  As I walked in the door instead of hockey I saw figure skaters on the ice practicing for a holiday show with fake presents and a Christmas tree.  (Looking back now, I wish I had taken a picture of the scene I walked into).   I immediately figured out that I was obviously in the wrong place and hopped back in the car to race across town to Cairns Arena.  I only had about fifteen minutes to get across town during rush hour.
  I made it to Cairns, and luckily the game before had gone a little late.  I got to the rink just as they were introducing the starting line ups...
