Ok some updates! I used the 2 AF setting that keeps the  focus also when something appears in front of the original object. Seems like the correct choice because the camera now is a razor and i have very few images out of focus. also i was able to set the WB spot on, i made an error the first time.
 
This is from another city, keep in mind that they may be very bright depending on your monitor because i need them that way (the paper of the newspaper is shit)

Then i came back to my home city and made this for a work where i put also some editing to replicate a work that i made with the Canon. Really i must say that working the jpg's of the Fuji is simply easier because the start is better ! Color is nicer and i tuned the noise setting to -1. This gave me much better skin tones and also preserve the details!

First official work. I'd say is pretty pretty good. I need more experience in tweaking the Autofocus to my liking, but with the Universal one the behaviour is really good! Never used my Canon 1Dx that i brought as insurance
 
Only trouble i had was to set the White Balance. Since was my first shooting with the X-T2 the photos where all a bit cold, with the Canon i was able to set it spot on picking the ice with a slightly off focus image! With the Fuji this didn't work :|

I added the 1,4x Teleconverter in order to be able to shoot also from the stands!
 
it works pretty well

I opened a thread at the Day One of the X-T2 (literally picked from the shop and brought at the match 6 hours later, alongside my Canon 1Dx of course because was work and needed to be sure of the result): http://www.fuji-x-forum.com/topic/4623-x-t2-does-it-work-for-hockey/
 
I can now say after months of work that i prefer working with my T2 over the Canon. I use the Canon onlt in the Hockey stadiums where i need the extra light that my 300 2.8 can provide (please Fuji, start to make a 300 F2.8 please).
Now i am very satisfiied of the performance of the T2, even when using the teleconverter.
 
This are some of the latest photos i made

It works very good...and also it works very good with the Teleconverter 1.4x. Is sharp and the autofocus is untouched in the speed and precision!

Already subscribed to you but "softness" is outstanding!

I really dislike that sentence! And for my experience is simply not true. And i shoot Hockey for work, i can't think to a sport that is more fast and difficult to shoot than that because of the combination of extreme speed/low light!

Great opportunity for me to shoot something outside my usual work (Sport). I made a work with 2 great models and 2 great Harley Davidson.
