First time for everything

Last night was the first time I've shot professional hockey. I'll admit, I was a tad bit nervous because of this fact. I sat on the ice for 2 periods and took a risk moving up for the third and it payed off with the game winning goal by the Avalanche. I'd say the best piece of advice I would have to those who have never photographed this sport is to slow down and do not sweat the fact that they come flying by you at all times. Cheers.
