SIDELINE SCHOOL
Rituals: the early mornings
The early drive, warm-up laps, between periods, the snack after.
How to shoot it
- Step 1
The early drive is the season
Hockey means early ice and long drives. The bag in the trunk, the sleepy face in the back seat, the rink in the dark. Take it parked, or hand the phone to whoever isn’t driving.
- Step 2
Warm-up laps go past slowly
Warm-ups are the one time players skate past you slowly. Stand at the glass by the bench and shoot them going by.
Pro tip
Shoot the early drive. You’ll miss it before they do.
