Philippe,
Getting it in focus is the easy part! ;-) Getting the peak action is the 
hardest in the  fast action of hockey around the goal. So it's best to focus 
on the goalie and if the action is slightly closer or farther away then the 
lens change is minimal. Piece of cake with a few games experience.
