From what I've read, if we can ignore things on wheels (cars, bicycles, trains, ...), its mostly about recognizing when all movement is minimal and trying to get shortest possible shutter speed. Sometimes the pursuit of short shutter speed forces you to go into high ISO settings, but I guess slightly grainy image is better than one with too much motion blur. If your shooting for local newspaper (never had that priviledge, but ...), you will benefit from the fact that newspapers printing quality is what it is ... To get shortest possible shutter speed forces many (d)SLR camera owners to use lenses with fixed focal length (in Canon's case these would be 85/1.8, 135/2, 300/2.8, ...).

I too am amazed at all of the ads they put on the uniforms these days. Similar to a lot of blogs we see these days I guess. LOL. My first hockey game was a blast too, I never realized what fun it is to watch a game waiting for a fight to break out. Wow that is a great photo.

I always have a hard time taking action shots. Do you have any secrets? The adverts make the uniforms rather busy looking. I always have a hard time taking action shots. Do you have any secrets?
