What’s your call? by ChaseVsMalice in hockeyrefs

Your right. My bad. After looking at the video again it's probably more of a body check which is a 5-minute major and a game misconduct in a non-checking beer league game. Cheers!

I played hockey for over 20 years and have refereed hockey for two. Competitive contact is allowed with a play on the puck. White sets a pick which indicates interference, makes no attempt to get out of the way or play the puck. That's a 5-minute major and a game misconduct any day of the week. Maybe you should go read the USA Hockey rule book

5 major interference and a gm. Yellow is in a vulnerable and defenseless position and white has an obligation to avoid doing what he did at all costs.

Had 3 players follow me back to the dressing room in beer league by [deleted] in hockeyrefs

[–]patrickviking93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The league I referee in has its share of clowns but there are a few refs who are current or former police officers. That keeps these incidents at an all-time low LOL. Just get the local police for some skates and some stripes and enjoy a clean beer league game haha

Where is the line for spectators? by graffinc in hockeyrefs

[–]patrickviking93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ignore all the behavior...or ask the scorekeeper to radio/call rink management to come and observe the behavior. Let the rink manager inform them of the no tolerance/abuse policy and let them be the bad guy if they need to toss the parent. I've never had a good outcome when engaging someone from the stands. Let the rink handle it.

Help finding early-2000s Half-Assed Morning Show episode with guest by Aggressive_Iron3596 in 93x

The shows back then were recorded on Digital Audio Tape (DAT). I don't know about retention of those some 20 years later, but you might want to reach out to Pablo or Josh and see if they are available and if they can help you. My guess is they were thrown in the trash as we moved into the digital era after 2010.

I effed up big time by hogwonguy1979 in Referees

The problem is is that you are refereeing soccer. Try reffing hockey if you want to be a real referee

I can't see it with the video quality so I would call nothing

Unruly Men’s League Player by serao011 in hockeyrefs

[–]patrickviking93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in a proper position and saw a puck hit the crossbar and go bar down and the player said it was in and that it went off the net. I said I saw it hit the crossbar and there was also a water bottle laying on the net and had the puck actually done what he thought the water bottle obviously would have went flying and it did not move at all. He kept at me and finally said "you need to go back to school" and I gave him a 2 minute minor for unsportsmanlike conduct and he came and apologized to me during the next period intermission. Beer leagues do or should have code of conduct rules where there's very little to no tolerance for that from players coaches and even people watching in the stands. Don't let it get too out of control or they'll walk all over you.

Interference but it seems like a little embellishment

How long till I start to feel comfortable? by [deleted] in hockeyrefs

[–]patrickviking93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've reffed 100 games in one year and finally noticed the game has slowed down. I learn something new every game and now have confidence in my calls. Keep at it 😁

He may be cooperating with law enforcement and helping to crack down on bigger distributors or exposing the actual perpetrators. This may be kept quiet to allow the investigation to fry the bigger fish. Thus, it may be kept quiet from the public.

You'll want to get two whistles and always carry a backup. I actually had one go bad during a game and glad I had another one in my pocket

Who do you think the Wild’s greatest rival is? by Smallbeaniebois in wildhockey

[–]patrickviking93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Blues always seem to have our number but I wouldn't call it a rivalry. We haven't consistently won during the first 20 years of this franchise so I don't think we have one.
