Luc Robitaille Celebrity Shoot Out!

This was, hands down, the most awesome assignment I have ever photographed. I met Ian Laperriere and Adam Foote, two of my favorite and two of the most amazing hockey players ever, and got to photograph a hockey game from the bench. If you know me, the photos speak for themselves, and really, I have nothing more to say except: EPIC.

And now, a generic caption:
Retired National Hockey League players and celebrities played together at the Luc Robitaille Celebrity Shoot Out hockey game at the Park City Ice Arena Sunday, Jan. 22, 2012, including former NHL players Ian Laperriere, Adam Foote, Rob Blake, and Cuba Gooding Jr., Alan Thicke and Andie MacDowell in a friendly game to benefit Stacia and Luc Robitaille's charity Echoes of Hope.

Francom was shot and killed while serving a warrant with the Weber/Morgan Narcotics Strike Force. About 4000 people attended services at Dee Events Center and a procession of family and officers, lead by a motorcycle brigade and fire engine carrying the casket of Officer Francom, made its way through Ogden to the cemetery. Weber County Sheriff's Sgt. Nate Hutchinson, also shot and wounded, appeared in a wheelchair and was greeted by his friends and colleagues.

Ryder Wilcox, 9, of Boy Scout Troop 90 helped put up American flags along Harrison Boulevard in Ogden for the funeral.
