Thanks everyone for your input. I will run some test with at least three slaves and see what happens. A lot of good stuff. And of course ...... we know that Pentax users are not your main stream types and never opinionated.

Thanks for all the great input .......... I have access to all the hockey practices. I will communicate with the coaches and due some trial error stuff.
Hockey arenas are all about the same type of light ........ what I find out ....... I will post for everyone's beni.
I have seen alot of pro photography done a elite tourneys in Canada while coaching. Those photographers get great results. When your watching the games, you never even notice the flash from the players box. I have never had a kid complain either. Will see what happens.

OK.... here is the issue. Or maybe it is not an issue?:confused:
I have a k20d and k10d. This winter a plan on taking a lot of photos of youth hockey for fund raising at our local hockey association.
Taking action of the smaller kids is no big deal....... but with the high school kids it gets to be a pretty fast game. Some kids have slap shots pushing 70mph and skate at speed of 25mph. Plus, you have stick movement that becomes very fast due to leverage.
My only self suggested solution (maybe) is to use the slowest ISO and crank up the power on the flash (might have to plug it into a 3phase tranformer). I also have 3 pretty powerful AC slaves. This in theory should minumize possible blurring of action due to arena lighting.
Is this the right track or did I derail?:o

I have a k10d and k20d with a multitude of pentax manual lenses. :cool: The other day I purchased a convertion mount for 67 lenses to k mount. I am under the understanding that the lens focal length will be increased by about 3x on a dslr and about 2x on my ME Super and MX. What about the f-stop? Does it remain constant? :confused:
