Happy Hockey Fan, Unless you are a member of USAH district or national staff, or in a position of administration in a league, you have no right to expect to see such a list of evals any more than you have a right to see the nightly evaluations of NHL officials. AND NO, you do not pay the officials' game fees.... you pay money for your kid to play at xyz org and xyz org in turn pays money to play in abc league... It Is abc league that is responsible for providing officials for their league games and in turn pay for the officials so if anyone gets to see such a list it should be the folks responsible for running the league - not some pissed off self important parent. Just like eval lists, discipline of officials is not normally something made public. I know of two officials that received 1 year USAH suspensions and many other occasions where officials were removed from the schedule for a month or more. The leagues were notified of the actions but it wasn't posted on the interwebs to satisfy the need for a pound of flesh.... Does the HR department where you work send out a memo to all employees detailing infractions and disciplinary actions taken against employees?

There are lot's of officials out there giving back to the game. The question is do you want those guys working your game? People don't sit in the stands and appreciate that the official is giving back his time. Gas was also $1.15 in 1990, I assume skates and uniforms were less then to. Drive an hour to get to a game the $45 they pay you suddenly looks like a loss and not really time well spent. I would also guess that in 1990 you were paid with an envelope of cash, now your "additional income" is recorded online and you receive a nice fresh 1099 at the end of the year. People are not necessarily in it for the money but the money sure is nice when you eliminate the tax man and are arguably fairly compensated.

How many things can Dave Fryer be in charge of ? The chma, che & piho. He’s set to to be the next Pahl president next year. one of the few good things pihl has done - remove him years ago.

More and More I am happy that I am no longer involved in WPA hockey in any way and that it is unlikely that I will have any grandkids swirling around in the potential cesspool of the new system.

On a side note. Collin is a quality individual and a terrific ref.

I have to give it to the kid reffing though. He kicked him out and stuck to it without trying to hear his lip. On the other hand this is very clearly LOW level hockey being played and 2 kids ran into each other while going after the puck. It was a good no call by the refs too. Over the years of my kids playing the Badgers have easily had some of the most classless coaches around.
