3/24/15 Los Angeles Kings @ New York Rangers

Last night I photographed an NHL matchup between the LA Kings and NY Rangers at Madison Square Garden. The Blueshirts weren't able to get their offense going for much of the game and lost 4-2. Here are some of the photos from the game.

NYC FC Yankee Stadium

This past Sunday I covered the Inaugural soccer game for the NYC FC at Yankee Stadium for Newsday. The NYC FC played host to the New England Revolution. The enormous amount of media and strict rules at Yankee Stadium certainly provided challenges, but I was able to make some good images. Here are some of the shots from the game.

Best of February 2015

February is an awesome month on the High School Sports scene since all the winter sports move into playoffs. Intensity and emotions are always higher during the H.S. playoffs and it makes for much more compelling images. I also had the chance to cover the NY Islanders vs. NY Rangers game at the Coliseum this month so included are a few from that game.
