Welcome to Frank Kutsche's website of Ice Hockey (the 'sticks') and Motorsport (the 'stones') photos

I have followed Ice Hockey in Adelaide, South Australia for over 25 years, starting at the Payneham Ice Rink and then at Thebarton's Ice Arena (formerly Mt. Thebarton) which is the current home of Ice Hockey in South Australia since Payneham was sadly shut down many many years ago.  I have only taken photos for the last five years.  I have taken countless photos at car rallies and Hillclimbs for many years though.  This website presents several galleries of my photos with the current focus on ice hockey.  If you are interested in any particular ones contact me.

Many good players have come and gone from the Adelaide teams, so photo galleries from 2005, 2006 and 2007 may contain your favourite past and present Adelaide Avalanche players.  More recently there are Adelaide A's players and local ice hockey from 2008.  The Adelaide Assassins women's ice hockey team have been added to the website in 2008.  In 2009 the newly formed Adelaide Adrenaline replaced the temporary team Adelaide A's in the Australian Ice Hockey League (AIHL).

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE SA's GOODALL CUP TEAM WINNING THE 100th ANNIVERSARY GOODALL CUP - 2009

The tournement was reduced to SA, Victoria and WA (GFC related?).  Nonetheless it produced some of the closest fought games in recent history of the competition with good hard-hitting, exciting hockey.  All teams finished with 2 wins apiece with WA taking out the For-Against scores for the minor round.  SA stepped it up in the Grand Final and looked to be on top right from the outset, gaining a 2-0 upper hand.  In the 3rd period the score was 3-1 but with less than 2mins to play SA took 2 penalties resulting in a 3-on-5 play, but held firm to take out the classic.
