Tweet to you IHSAref.....
Do you have one of those orange/black "Gonia Special" whistles that used to be all the rage about 25-years ago? (Midwest area).
A dentist friend of mine told me that other refs were starting to use them for two reasons.....obviously unique "high pitch" sound, and plastic whistle is safer for teeth. (Only drawback was a pack of local dogs where all waiting at the gym exits after the game). Turns out the "Gonia Special" is a dog training whistle.

No knowledge when SONIK comes out this year....FOX website (not to be confused with the psuedo cable News channel ) only has a promo page on it....no listing of price....also ad just appeared on back cover of this month's edition of Referee Magazine.
