Hockey does. if you can get between two jawing or pushing players and move them away, you do it. It does involve physical contact with the players, but only for as long as needed to move them away.
Then again, I guess its part of the culture of the game that 99% of players will respect the presence of the officials and cease physical hostilities once the stripes arrive.
