Default Background needed

I make a large print for my niece every xmas, I need a hockey related background for this years photo, it has to be 1920x1200 or larger, larger the better, here is a sample of last years, minus her name and other details. Just so you know what I'm looking for.

I've done them for a few years and can not find a good back drop, any help would be great.

So you want the person and the team logo in the new photo just with a different background?

is that her/does she need to be in the picture? do you want an NHL themed (team) background, or a generic "ice & stick" clip art-esque design?

I just want some back ground options, I add all the other pics later, no NHL theme, winter or hockey themes, There has to be a good resource site out there with high res backgrounds, I can't find them thou...

yeah, its called Google. just go to Google Images, and on the left is where the search parameters are. just select the option for image size: Exact, and put in a standard screen resolution (800x600,1024x768,etc) and just search for "hockey", or "ice rink", or something related to the sort.

Thats all I or anyone else here would do if they had to go digging for a background image. its not like we have access to some super secret database for digital design files. one website you can try though, would be www.deviantart.com there's a ton of stuff on there that you can just browse through. otherwise, if youre looking for an actual website for background images, just do a search for xp or vista desktop backgrounds, and you get quite a few major sites for that stuff, which then you can usually always search or browse to the specific topic youre looking for.

Yup! ^^^^

That is what I tried. Google image search: options: large photos = what you want.

deviantart is definitely an excellent place to look for hd images. another thing to try is searching for 'hd wallpaper' in google; there are tons of high res images, maybe not quite the size you're looking for, but there is a good selection
