We’re taking “Frozen Fenway” in the most literal sense possible this year. It was a long, cold one out there yesterday! After snow postponed this double header on Saturday, we were back at it on Sunday in well-below freezing temperatures. It was a busy but fun day of shooting, as Boston University faced UMass and Boston College played Providence College.
These games are as much about the atmosphere as the action happening on the ice, so I tried to shoot a good balance of both. I’ve shot a lot of hockey this year so far already here, in addition to this same event two years ago, so it’s tough to stay creative. I was happy with a few frames here though.
The first gallery above is from the day game between BU and UMass. It was nice to see my grad school Alma-Mater take care of business. The second is from the night cap between BC and Providence.
