“Call it both ways”
“I was on-side”
“Are you blind, how did you miss that call?”
“Did I get an assist on that?”
Do these complaints sound familiar?
Well consider that the league has (58) player referees and (3) actual referees, we decided to introduce the leagues “formal” referee’s… George, Bill & John.
Our hand-selected team of officials has had years of rigorous training and mental counseling to thicken their skin when dealing with a bunch of Over-30 player referee’s.
Although the Dek Hockey rule book has a lot of useful information like… say, rules! The reading is not mandatory to become one of the leagues elite refs, and most refs just opt to use the book as a beer coaster, or a shim under that wobbling sofa leg.
The only test the league mandates is an “eye” and “check cashing” test… and quite frankly you only need to pass one out of the two tests to become an Over-30 referee.
So without further adieu we give you our three league officials and their new theme song.
Sing along if you know the tune (and you will).
