  1. This is well put. Let me make another point as well: just as there is a shortage of fast food workers and waiters that makes your wait time longer at restaurants and there is a shortage of flight attendants and pilots that cancel your flights there is an extreme shortage of referees. They are burnt out, tired of skating 10 games a weekend and every week night, and naturally you’re going to have less talented officials on the ice because that’s all that is available. Screaming at them and “punishing” them won’t help this scenario. And as much as you keep wanting to complain about the officiating, keep in mind that the soon arriving alternative is canceled games due to no officials being available. Food for thought on this chilly Saturday afternoon.
  2. I can confirm that the referees received no repercussions from this and you are an absolute moron for thinking that they should be punished. Crowd control is not the job of the referee, check the USA hockey rule book and every officiating class ever taught. The crowd control responsibility falls on the sleepy security guard in the lobby who PIHL employs at every game for such instances. The security guard should be crowd controlling instead of sleeping in the lobby like most of them do. Has anyone mentioned that the guard is the one who deserves to not be hired to another game ever again?
