Centermen often have the second best hands of any player on the team, after the goalkeeper. This shot is from the opening of the second period with the game scoreless.
I realize that people will complain that the hands in the picture are covered by gloves, so be it. I originally wanted a picture of the keeper, but they didn't get much of a glove work-out that night.
The game was from the NJ public school semi-finals between (1) Morris Knolls [white] and (5) Montgomery [green], Montgomery won 2-1 to advance to the finals.

If you had the zoom to get this same shot just around the hands, stick and puck you'd have a top 20 image. This is a little to far back for a sports action shot.
I tried a crop around the hands and stick, but as you pointed out it's a bit far out from this shot (also othe angle isn't conducive to it as the white player has his arm tucked in too much already). I appreciate the feedback, thanks.
FWIW there are at least three glove-less hands visible, but as I stated in the comments section, I didn't expect people to think it fit the challenge even though I felt it did.
