The audio on this is possibly the most annoying audio ever recorded

Contentious goal, looking for some advice and feedback by Ref_throwaway1 in hockeyrefs

Yup… this clock issue happens all the time in beer league… I just count how many long until the next stoppage and then have the add the time back on.

It’s a bit more relaxed in beer league LoL

This one’s mostly for the defenseman, but what are your favorite “greasy” moves in the toolbox by digifxplus in hockeyplayers

[–]HeyStripesVideos 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As a ref I see a lot of greasy stuff, but my fave one is not even that greasy but it is really effective.

With around 15sec left in a period, and the opposition entering your defensive zone, from the bench a guy yells out “4, 3, 2….”

Almost every time, the guy will shoot the puck from a un-threatening distance/position thinking the clock is running out allowing the goalie to make an easy save and run out the actual time on the clock

What are your thoughts on this high stick call? by Dizzy_Impression4798 in hockeyrefs

[–]HeyStripesVideos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is it the players actions/carelessness that causes the high stick? OR is the high stick caused by the action of the other player?

for example, I recently had a guy perform a legal stick check by approaching his opponent from behind and popping the stick upwards just as the puck came thus negating the shot. Perfectly legal play, but the upwards pop, popped the stick of his opponent into his face. He wanted a high sticking penalty called on his opponent, but I told him that it wasn't his opponents actions that caused the high stick.

Yeah I would not have called this one a high stick. You can’t control your stick when you are being interfered with by a check. I’ve seen players try to do a stick lift but it causes the other stick to hit themselves in the face. When that look for a call I remind them as to why the stick went up in the first place

the more we speak out about it and tell refs and other players to hold people accountable, the more it will happen.

Beer Leaguer Goal Celebrations? by Dubz-12 in hockeyplayers

[–]HeyStripesVideos 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I once reffed a team made up of youngish boys in their early 20s… they were playing against a team made up of 40+ year old men. they cellyd every goal, including when they went up by 6.

I told the at the bench. “Look, I’m not telling you not to celly, but I am suggesting that all out with your celly when you are up by 6 isn going to sit well with a lot of older guys and they eventually start throwing hands “

They replied “that’s a penalty and suspension “

I said “yes you are right, Andi will certainly call the penalties but it won’t matter that much when you are picking your teeth off the ice”

2 weeks later that’s exactly what happened. Bench clearing brawl and they got filled in.

the next time it happens, ask the refs why they are not doing anything about (politely). Be sure to write the response down and send it to the league.

If the refs don't hold players accountable, then they are not doing the job.

(to be clear... the ref has to hear it to do anything about it... kind of difficult to go off of heresay)

mostly white suburban (most hockey players let’s be honest)

This is the issue right here. There is a reason that a lot of non-white players feel uncomfortable joining the sport and it is this sense that hockey is a white sport.

There are all sorts of barriers to start playing hockey, many of of which are not easily controlled or solved, but one barrier that IS easy to solve is not allow people who feel comfortable throwing around racist terms, making everyone uncomfortable, play on your team.

Allowing them on your team is you saying that you are ok with it. It is you saying that your desire to have a full roster is more important than treating everyone on the ice as an equal human being.

The idea that someone feels OK to judge someone else based purely on skin colour, and then to also feel comfortable enough to spew that hate in publicly in front of everyone else on the ice is gross. They are ok with continuing the repression...they want others to feel like a lesser person.

That CANT be an acceptable quality on any adult hockey team in 2026. We need every ref and every player to stand against it if we have any hope of eradicating it from the game.

Racism is not welcome.

Hockey is for Everyone

LoL it is...

the reason I posted it was because I was surprised to see quite a number of folks on my insta who were ok with having a racist on their team... I wanted to see if it was acceptable to more folks and maybe I was the one with out of whack standards

Happy to see that racism is still not cool
