The Sheriff

Professional ice hockey player and captain for Las Vegas, Mike Madill.

I've long lost count of all of the pictures and portraits I've taken of Mike these years, and for whatever reason I like this one from last night. Not the most. But I like it. The man loves to rocket around my corner like a bat out of hell, his stick rat-tat-tating over the glass if he's not carrying the puck, almost daring me to try to catch him in action. If I'm not paying attention, chatting to an usher or a friend, and something like a fighter jet flashes by in a bright red jersey, I just reach over and bang a reply on the glass. I already know it's Madill.
