Hockey Trading cards

I shot my son's MITE Hockey season for the second year in a row. The parents were glad to see the images shared on our internal team page all season long.

They thought so much of them, one parent used the images (with my permission) to make hockey trading cards to give to each of the kids at the end of the season last month.

The final result was great to see and the kids really love the cards :)

While I'm learning sports photography and capturing my sons life, it was a great feeling to know the parents appreciated the images as well as I did :)

@carguy... they all look great. Would it be possible to ask the guy which company he went with to make the cards? This thread is a great idea so I thought about doing the same for my daughter's soccer team. I'm having some problems finding some card printers that can do smaller runs. If you get a chance to ask they guy I'd appreciate it.

Great work Joe.

I thought the cards were a novel idea and can see how they would be terrific for kids! Thanks for sharing the idea, Joe!

I love taking hockey portraits and when I get to take the ones of the players I coach it's a lot of fun. When the boys on the other teams seen these photos they didn't want to take the puck from them anymore... lol
