Phoenix Knights, Junior A Hockey, Gilbert, Arizona
Director’s notes about filming Phoenix Knights Hockey:
This was really just junk footage I shot while visiting the Knights during an inter-squad practice – ti was never intended to be seen by the public, but the Knights like it enough to put it on their website. I met the Director of Communications Steven Force at the AZ Ice Gilbert rink (nice guy, by the way). After the 10-15 minute meeting, I asked if he’d be open to allowing me to get some footage so long as I didn’t interfere. I just had one camera and two lenses (no stabilization). I used the boards around the rink to stabilize the camera!
