Lately I've become the most hated ref on the ice. I've dished out many misconducts and bench minors for stupid stuff, but it sure shuts the guys up and gets the game under control for the rest of the team that wants to play hockey and can accept that refs are human.
Up until the beginning of Spring league there has never been much pushing and shoving and the gloves have only come off twice before (once in October and once at the beginning of March). Then we got this new kid coming in who plays in beer leagues in Canada that don't care about fighting. He's usually the one in or near any hostile gatherings on the ice. But Garth is taking care of him real nice. ;o)

Problem up here is that, for the most part, men's rec hockey is not sanctioned by Hockey Canada. So you get the unfortunate combination of a) refs who don't give a darn and b) teams full of guys who think they should have been in the NHL even though they're playing beginner rec.
