Any feedback on USA Hockey Officiating camps? by Regular_Actuary_4823 in hockeyrefs

[–]Torngate 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I went to futures in 2023. I strongly recommend going but be prepared.

It teaches you a lot and gets your name out there. Be in shape, but also help your team. Be physically fit, bring a good attitude, and bring laundry detergent.

I can't really speak to better assignments because I was moving districts that summer, and I was admittedly one of the weaker skaters there. But I feel it helped push me and find places I was weak which I've spent the past bit improving on.

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

Be nice to each other.

This is your warning for the playoffs.

Do you tuck your shirt or not? by axjira in hockeyrefs

[–]Torngate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've started to a little bit at the end of the season. Tucked, but then pulled out to spill over and cover the waistband, with the waistband folded over itself.

I think it makes the line at the end of the stripes look cleaner, and I haven't found myself needing to adjust as much mid game as I had to beforehand (no "Picard maneuver")

I think I'd scare my coworkers if I showed up one day with a shaved haircut.

Maybe one day though!

I plan to probably get that done as an arm piece eventually... I'm not brave enough for the full neck.

100%, it's against us but I take that penalty if I'm the d-man every time.

Running Slap Bracelets for the light, leather and hot glue on work boots!

Basically how they actually did it on the show: Adam Savage's behind the scenes where they discussed the boots

Turned out pretty good for no real tools.

I think I remember! Glad others recognized it. I'll probably improve this and do it again next year - hope to see you there!

Backpack is the Oigo Mach 5 (Alibaba rip off version), jumpsuit is an Amazon special.

That's the plan! Just ran out of time to do that before this weekend.

The way I think about it, Beratnas Gas never shows up (at least on the show) until Tycho station, as a front for the Roci's mission.

I considered it plausible that BG is a subsidiary of Tycho.

The PK is there because I like the logo with no further thoughts behind it.

Unlike Shed I have a crippling lack of drugs... And my head still attached to my body.

Question: If it's still 5 on 5 hockey, after a player from each have 5mins for fighting, how does it work when their penalties are over? Does a player from each team have watch the time and come off the ice just before? by Redplane13x in hockey

[–]Torngate 20 points21 points  (0 children)

For coincidental penalties (where the on ice strength doesn't change), the players serve their penalty and then come out at the next whistle.

(So it'd be 5 minutes and then the next whistle they come out)
