Try to pan with the action so that the subject is pin sharp and the background has movement blur.Choose a relatively high shutter speed to stop the action, but not so high that it also freezes the background.Get in close, good action shots show things like facial expressions and body positions.Also try to get the puck in frame in some of your shots, for example just leaving the stick or going into the goal.Try to get the moment when the guy's nose bursts on the glass.
