Will create collage* featuring multiple images from a particular player’s college hockey career acting as a visual frame around a large center image.  These images may all be chosen by you (the precise number depends on the dimensions of the center image and your preference re: the final print (20 x 30 or 24 x 30).

 
Sample of images created for 2008-09 Boston College seniors (above images were mounted on foamcore which
is not included, but can be arranged for an additional charge.)  Thanks to Joseph Gravallese for permission
to use his luncheon photos.

Creation of image and one print at 20×30 or 24×30 – $250 (includes shipping to a single address within US/Canada). 
Additional prints of the image ordered at the same time – $60.
Post-creation, the image will be made available on line for orders at $75. 

Will work with you via shared lightboxes online in choosing images – price also includes the option to have me check up to 10 past games (your choice) that do not currently have galleries online to provide additional options. 

How to order? Please send payment of $250 for creation and single print copy (add $60 per each additional print you’d like to order at the reduced price) via Paypal to melissa@hockeyphotography.com. Please indicate in the accompanying message whether you’d like his or her full college hockey career included or strictly senior season. If there is a particular image you’d like used in the center, please provide that file name as well. I will then share an intitial lightbox with you of images that include your player and we will start the process of choosing the images to be used.

*not the definition of collage I learned in elementary school cutting up magazines, but it seems to be used this way now and I can’t think of another name.

Reading this weekend’s Hockey East release, I realized I had completely missed Nick Bonino of Boston University hitting the 100 career points mark back on January 29.

Six players have reached the milestone so far this season:

November 24: James Marcou, UMass

January 1: Ben Smith, Boston College (earlier blog gallery)

January 22: Bobby Butler, UNH (earlier blog gallery)

February 20: Kory Falite, Lowell (earlier blog gallery)

February 21: Brian Gibbons, Boston College (earlier blog galleries – 1 2)

Hoping BC Eagle Joe Whitney (earlier blog gallery) will get the needed five points to hit the century mark over the next two games to have it out of the way before the playoffs (College point totals include regular season combined with post-season points, unlike professional totals which keep the two separate. They do not include points earned during exhibition games.) With at least 2 more Hockey East quarterfinal games guaranteed or nearly guaranteed in addition to this weekend’s pair, sophomore Maine Black Bear Gustav Nyquist (86 currently) and junior Northeastern Husky Wade MacLeod (90) (earlier blog gallery) have a chance to reach the mark this year regardless of the game results.
