Cheers Chris
The rink is a fairly new modern venue although I'm not sure what the lighting is like
I have a media pass so have the option of shooting above in the media gallery but I would prefer shooting from ice level.......this would mean shooting through the plexi glass or netting.
As for which lens

.......it's either going to be between the 70-200 IS 2.8L or the 300mm IS 2.8L. Might take both although I would just like to go with one.
When shooting through the plexi glass, do you have the lens hood off and put the lens as close to the plexi as possible?
Thanks again Ian
