With the hockey you have the added difficulties of needing to use a shutter speed in the 500 range and as low an aperature as possible to be able to freeze the speed AND let in enough light to do so. Impossible with a point and shoot, extremely difficult with an SLR unless you spend 2k on a lens or are shooting hockey outdoors
I probably won't even post my first attempt, since I am going to use the kit lens to see if I can get away with an f4 and save about a grand over the f2.8. It will be ugly LOL
Good luck with that. You'll probably have to shell out the money for the f2.8 if your hockey rinks are lighted as well as the ones I grew up playing in. :laugh:
