“I have been filming ice hockey games for 10 years running now. These are my advice for buying a camcorder to film sports in general and especially ice hockey:

• High frame rate, 50i or 50p to capture movements better.
  
• Big viewfinder or LCD screen if you don’t have a good feel for the sport.
  
• At least 12x Zoom.

HD, or not HD mostly a matter of taste if you are live-casting on the web, you will scale and compress away most HD details, but it is good to be forward compatible.

Last but not least you need to spend money on a good tripod. A Zoom handle to the tripod is a good add-on. Canon XHA1 is a good choice even if I don’t like the Canon colors.”
