Print your own hockey cards
Ethan and Ben have become big Sidney Crosby fans so I decided to look on the computer with them for some pictures to print out. What I discovered was a great way to print your own hockey cards or any other sports card. Here’s what I did.
| Go to a team website and find their photo gallery. All NHL sites are setup the same way and have a great collection of game photos. |
 |
| Find the picture you want in the gallery. If it is an automated slide slow make sure to pause it. Press the Ctrl-Alt-Print Screen keys all at the same time to take a screen capture. |
| Open up your photo editor (I used Photoshop Elements) and click on File and then New. Most editors will detect the screen capture in memory and default to a new file of the same dimensions. Click OK. |
 |
| Press Ctrl-V on your keyboard to paste the screen capture into your editor |
 . |
| Notice it pasted not just the picture, but your browser too. Click on your crop tool and select the dimensions for your paper. I like to print these on 4×6 photo paper so I used that for my cropping restrictions. |
 |
| Print it out. Make sure you select the appropriate settings for your paper type and print quality. |
| That’s all there is to it. |
| Another trick is to do a google search on a player or team and then select Images. This will perform an images search. |
 |
| Try to find pictures with the largest resolution and click on See Full Size Image to get a page that only has your image. |
 |
| These pictures usually aren’t as high resolution as the ones in the photo galleries, but it’s an easy way to find lots of pictures of specific players. Just make sure to keep your Moderate Safe Search ON. You never know what weird stuff you might come across. Just ask Heather about the time she searched for “felt” when looking up art project ideas. |

Just an FYI, when you do a Google search, if you look in the upper left corner, you can choose “medium” or “large” images, and it will automatically only show the images that are of a larger size. These are great for printing, and you don’t have to wade through a bunch of low res pics.
