In my son's hockey game (House league Mites - 7&8 yr olds), the referee waved off a goal because another player had fallen (kids at this age fall alot) in the crease. The player who fell did not have any effect on the play and was on the other side of the crease that the goal was scored.
I know that in the NHL, the goal would be disallowed however, at this age group, do you think the referee was being a little too technical? At this age group, could he had looked the other way considering the skill level of the players?
Personally, I thought that this was an example of a new cop just out of the academy who writes 100 traffic tickets on his first week on the job just to show "who's in charge out there".
Any responses to this would be appreciated
