Indiana High School Hockey: CMA U16 vs. CYA
This past weekend, the Culver Academy U16 hockey team played two games against the visiting Chicago Young Americans team. Both games were great to watch. Both of the teams played well, though there seemed to be several penalties on both sides. (I shoot from the penalty box.) Saturday night’s game was truly an upset with the CYA team dominating the game during the 2nd and 3rd periods to win. I have to credit the CYA team, as they played as well as I’ve seen any high school team play.
The game on Sunday was a different story. Culver led throughout the game and won easily.

CMA Senior Hockey Banners
Last week, I photographed the seven seniors on Culver Academies’ Varsity Hockey team. Using their photos, I created senior banners that the team will hang during their senior recognition night on Saturday, February 12th. In the past year, I’ve done similar banners for some of the other sports teams. When printed, these really are sharp and life sized!
Let me apologize if the image quality doesn’t appear as crisp as one would expect. I had to shrink my original files (3 foot by 7 foot) to an image size that would actually load by most browsers.
Indiana Hockey Photography: CMA U16 and Prep Team
I’m sorry that this post is over a week old. Things have been hectic here in Culver and I’m just now getting caught up. Saturday of January 28th was a busy night for hockey in Culver. Simultaneously, there were two hockey games going on at the same time. One was between the Culver Academy U16 hockey team and the Indy Jr. Ice. The second game was between the CMA Prep team and St. Mary’s. I had a bouncing back and forth routine between the rinks that got to be a bit hectic at times. To further complicate things, each rink has different lighting that requires camera adjustments when switching rinks. I posted some of my favorite shots from the night. Other photos are located at:

Culver Hockey Photographs: CMA Varsity vs. Prairie Ridge High School
On Friday night, the CMA Varsity hockey team played Prairie Ridge High School from Illinois. Having lost to this team 4 of the 5 times they played one another last year, the game was expected to be quite close and exciting. The players did not disappoint their fans. The game was filled with a lot of action and great play, and Culver pulled off the victory with a win of 4 to 2. I’ve posted some photos here. Additional photos are located at:

Indiana High School Hockey: CMA Varsity vs. Penn High School
The other night, the CMA Varsity Hockey team hosted Penn High School for a game played at Culver Academies. The game started interesting enough with Penn playing hard and scoring the first goal. With that, it appeared that Culver might have a struggle with the game. Culver regrouped and fought to win 6-3. It was an exciting game to watch with both teams playing hard. I shoot from the penalty box and saw a lot of players come through it at this game! I’ve posted some photos here. Other photos are located at:

Indiana Sports Photography: CMA Wrestling vs. St. Joe
Earlier this week, I photographed the Culver Academies Wrestling match against St. Joe High School at Culver. It was a quick match because St. Joe does not have a full wrestling squad with only 9 weight classes. CMA won most of the classes, though St. Joe did get the upper hand in a couple of them. I’ve posted a few photos here. Other photos from the event are located at:

Indiana Hockey Photography: CMA U16 vs. Ulysse Prep
Friday night, the CMA U16 Hockey team hosted Ulysse Prep School from Canada at Culver Academy. Considering the fact that the boys from Ulysse Prep had been on a bus 16 hours traveling to Culver, they played quite well and gave Culver a good fight. Being close throughout the game and tied going into the third period, the game could have gone to either team. During the third period, Culver scored twice and created a gap that Ulysse couldn’t overcome. The final score, Culver-4, Ulysse Prep-2.

Indiana Hockey Photography: Culver Academy Varsity Hockey vs. JSerra Catholic Ice Lions
Last night, as part of Culver’s first annual Corn Cup Tournament, the CMA Varsity Hockey Team played the JSerra Catholic Hockey Team from California. It was an exciting game that could have gone to either team. JSerra started the game by scoring quickly in the first period; it was countered with Culver scoring a goal. Culver won the game, though JSerra made them work for the win.

Indiana Sports Photography: Culver Academy Wrestling vs. CCHS
Earlier this week, a snow storm may have delayed school from starting on time but it didn’t affect the sports schedule as Culver Community High School hosted the Culver Academy team. The meet was exciting to watch though I’ll admit that I do not know or fully understand the rules. Having said that, I’m not really sure which team won. I hope the pictures don’t reflect the fact that I don’t know this sport very well.

Indiana Sports Photography: Culver Academy Horse Show Invitational
This past weekend, the Culver Academy Jumping teams hosted an IEA (Interscholastic Equestrian Association) invitational horse show at the Vaughn Equestrienne Center. Originally scheduled for two days, due to bad forecasted weather, the event was shortened to a single day with only a couple of visiting teams. Though the event was shortened, the Academy did a wonderful job of hosting it and everyone appeared to have a good time. And I hope you’ll agree with me that the horses were not only great performers but beautiful to watch and photograph. I’m a horse lover and was a trooper at Culver, so I tend to watch the horses more than the people.
I’m always so impressed with the students and teams at these horse events. It’s just a classy sport to watch and capture on film. The Academy students did well in the different events, taking several first places, seconds, and thirds. They should be proud of another great performance. I look forward to the big February event.
