Title: Gloves Dropped
"Shooting hockey is a passion of mine. This image was part of a library shoot for The San Antonio Rampage AHL hockey team.
These guys are amazingly skilled athletes, and while fighting and the role of the enforcer in the NHL has declined over the years, it still exists at the lower divisions. Players try to prove themselves to NHL teams, and sometimes they have to drop the gloves to do so.
This fight was a nice tilt between Jarred Tinordi (Milwaukee Admirals) and Evan Polei (San Antonio Rampage)."
