Thanks, Larry.  I use manual in this type of situation -- the light is
consistent and non-directional, plus varying backgrounds (ads on the
boards, or light/dark jerseys) might trip up the meter... I usually
set it & forget it.  Which can get me into trouble when I change from
shooting action to getting candids on the bench... Not that the light
has changed, but I don't really need to be shooting at 1/1000 sec at
8000 iso in that situation.  So, I try to be mindful of that, and
remember to adjust...

Aha!  Love it.  I played it for my daughter & we got a good chuckle.
Someday, I will share some pics of our backyard rink... it's been a
crappy warm winter so far this year, though.  Tough on the "home ice".
