I was recruited to photograph a hockey tournament hosted by Arvada Hockey association over Presidents Day Weekend. Originally it was a 20 team tournament that grew to 36 teams and from one ice arena’s to 3 different arenas. I was not able to cover every rink or every game due to the games starting as […]
Now this is Pac-12 Basketball! I know, this game took place over 10 days ago, but I have been so busy, this was the first chance I have had to go back and relive the game for my website. Earlier in the season, Colorado’s Sabatino Chen hit a game winning shot against the Wildcats in […]
What do you do when you have a special education student in high school and they come to you and tell you they want to be a cheerleader? You know that kids with special needs can be very emotional, and telling them no can spiral them down into a depression. At Arvada West High School […]
I shot my last regular season high school hockey for the season the other night at the Apex center in Arvada as the hometown Ralston Valley Mustangs hosted Resurrection Christian. The third place team from Resurrection Christian came into the game trailing the Mustangs in the standings by just one tie, so this was a […]
Ralston Valley has really turned it around this season. They started out this season going 1-5 and struggling, then they started to find their feet and started winning. They are now sitting in third place in the Jeffco League for 5A schools. But this game against the visiting Bear Creek Bears, they were short their […]
In a pre-season game earlier in the season, Standley Lake defeated the Mustangs at the Promenade for one of the few losses for Ralston Valley all season. On Wednesday night, the Gators came to the Mustangs home ice to try to do it again. The fans seating area was packed with kids and parents from […]
One of the weirdest nights for me. I headed over to Standley Lake high school. I was sure it was for the Standley Lake and Arvada West boys game, but when I got there I figured out quickly that I was wrong. The girls from Dakota Ridge were there for the game. Double checking my […]
Coming off of a 2-1 loss to Chatfield last week, Ralston Valley was all business as they took the ice last night to face the visiting Kent Denver Sun Devils at the Apex Center Ice Arena in Arvada. The Ralston Valley Mustangs always bring on a youth hockey player during pre game team introductions as […]
The Jeffco League second place Lakewood girls were at Ralston Valley High School Friday night to face the 1st place (10-0 in league play) Ralston Valley Lady Mustangs in this conference match up. I was excited to finally get to see the Lady Mustangs, who have got to be the best high school girls team […]
This was one of the most bizarre games I have ever shot. I was at the Apex Center in Arvada, the home ice of the Ralston Valley Mustangs. Now, unlike Alaska where every high school has their own hockey team, only a few schools (lets say, one out of three or four) has a team. […]
