I'm somewhat amazed you're shooting ice hockey with an f/4 lens! What body are you currently using?

I've been shooting hockey for well over 15 years, both professionally and now just for fun.  I have no issues shooting f/4 with the D750 (D700 and D300, and Canon kit prior to Nikon), if the lighting the arena allows for it.  If it's a cave, I put the gear away and enjoy the game.  A common setting will be 1/400 f/4 ISO 1600.  My 24-120 f/4 is my primary lens for hockey, because my 100-300 is way too slow at f/5.6-6.3

While the game is fast, if you understand the game and where action happens and when 1/400 or 1/500 is more than enough shutter speed.  I'd love more reach for my new kit that's why the 70-200 f/4 (or f/2.8) is a must.
