Here are some of my favourite NHL images taken during Calgary Flames pre-games against the Edmonton Oilers and Seattle Kraken in September. Fans were back in the stands after a long hiatus. Photographed for Icon Sportswire. These were shot with the Nikon Z6 and the Nikon Z6II mirrorless cameras.

PPOC Sports Accreditation /
I am now an accredited photographer with the Professional Photographers of Canada (PPOC). I submitted ten photos for judging with the Canada-wide association, with all photos needing to pass the test. My ten images are below.
Submitted photos must all be from different events, with at least five being published. According to the PPOC, the photographer “should demonstrate the photographer’s knowledge of the sport being photographed by capturing the peak of action, as well as being able to deal with the adverse conditions of sports photography.”
My submission included images from National Hockey League, Lake Louise FIS Ski World Cup, National Lacrosse League, Spruce Meadows show jumping, FIS Freestyle Moguls World Cup, Ironman 70.3 Canada, the Calgary Stampede and the Calgary National Bank Challenger tennis tournament. Photos were either shot for NHL Images, Icon Sportswire, Calgary Roughnecks, The Provost News, or just myself.

Figure Skating in Scarboro /
Skating and Calgary go hand-in-hand and with a beautiful new outdoor rink in Scarboro appearing this year, I met up with Nadia, a Team Canada weightlifter and ex-competitive figure skater to take some photos. The rink is very quaint and the skyline offers the perfect backdrop for photos.
