I am currently looking for a sport lens that performs well in low light environments. I'm running short of lenses when it comes to those kind of conditions.

I shoot hockey games in poorly lit arenas and also some snowboard events; which finals are more often at night time. I'm getting poor results even at high ISO with the lens I have now. But i'm blaming the low aperture of my slow cheap lenses; thus why i'm looking to upgrade to the Nikkor 70-200 2.8 VRII lens.

Is there another lens I should consider? I see that some users on here got that lens and got some very good results with it, even for wildlife; which is a added bonus.

I think i'm gonna rent it before I buy it; but I would like to try a couple before taking my decision.

Thanks for the help!
