R.M. Fusco 		  Nikki,
If you are shooting with a digital that allows you to adjust the white balance or color temp., try adjusting for indoor / tungsten lighting. That's about 4500 to 5500K. If you are using film, you'll need to shoot with tungsten balanced film.

Jimi Hammerly 		  You could also use the color correcting function in Photoshop Elements. I shoot alot of our local team. I try to meter off of the players jersey's and then work from there. I shoot digital and it seems I always get that greyish cast no matter what I set my white balance to.But the color correction solves that. I also open up about a third of a stop to make up for the bright white rink. I hope this helps some, because the new season is just around the corner.
