referee

just got back from ice hockey...

today is the 1st time someone slash me with his stick...

this is what happen..

on a division 2 game.. the incident happen 2.5 minutes into the game... the goalie had blocked a shot with his leg pad but the puck is not covered therefore the puck is still alive.. i'm in a perfect position beside the goal post and i can still see the puck therefore i didnt blow the whistle.. the goalie stop playing for some reason and the opposite team player realise about it and skate towards the net and push the puck into the net with his stick.. so it's a goal...

when warren(another official) went to the scorer's table to report the goal... i went to the net to retrieve the puck but the goalie argue with me that he had covered the puck but i said no the puck is still alive, before i can finish my words the goalie just slash me at my legs and hand with his stick..

in no time i blew the whistle and skate towards warren and explain what happen and the goalie was assessed a match penalty and he might be suspended for the season and playoff...

maybe this can make him think what he has done till the next season starts again next year..

so today's lesson is "DO NOT TOUCH ANY REFEREE IN ANY GAME"

"FAIR PLAY"
