Great timing with many of these, particularly like the last image.(y)
 
Well done some nice shots there :)

My niece plays hockey for Essex :)

The last one could do with slight straightening, the post's are leaning to the the left :(

Unfortunately you went and took pictures of the inferior flavour of hockey... :p

Goalie shot is my fave :)
 
never shot this hockey but do inline hockey and ice hockey... would i be guessing right that you couldnt sit or too dangerous to sit.. all sports like this look better from a lower angle..

5 is ruined by the knee and elbow sticking in..

rest pretty good.. prefer a tighter crop myself :)
 
nice set love number 2 lol just because of the face shes pulling and number 4 same the face the lad on the turf is pulling a oh this could hurt look
 
I used to play for a mixed team in my late teens. I only did one season but I loved it. Still got my stick and whenever I say to my Mrs about getting rid of it she TELs me I might get back into it one day... I did with judo.

Anyway nice shots. If I had to pick a favourite its #1 because of the expression and determination she's showing. Good stuff!!
 
Kipax - I do try and shoot from a low position - 2 and 3 are from a squatting position. The trouble with a water-based pitch is that it isn't pleasant to sit or kneel on. The other problem I have at my age is that I need to alternate standing and sitting otherwise my back and joints suffer... It wouldn't be so bad if I was getting paid for it :D. I agree about the knee and elbow - hadn't noticed it before.
Anyway - point taken. Cheers
