There's something special about photographing a Kraken game from above the ice, especially when the red light goes on and fans raise their hands to celebrate a goal.

Sports photographers can only experience the emotion vicariously while keeping their hands steady to capture the moment.

The reactions of the fans along the glass are just as crucial to the story as the player who scored the goal.

Sometimes, it takes a while for the crowd to settle down after a big play.

Sometimes, you spot a fan having their own unique moment.

and sometimes that same energy can also block your shot.
