"CFL was last to completely get rid of penalty horns, after CAFA, and long after USA officials."
Geez, I remember those stupid horns as a player....they sounded more like kazoos more than anything....I found them to be a big pain in the butt.
I can't imagine how a mid play signal like that could help the officiating process, but maybe some of you, um, ah..."vets" could shed some light on that!
As well, the CFL remains out of step as far as officials hat colour patterns are concerned as the Head Ref wears black, the rest of the crew white. Cdn amateur is in line with NFL, NCAA and I assume US amateur.
Tonight is the beginning of the spring "Midget" division (community based league for grade 9, 10 and 11 kids) play here in Alberta...with temps just over zero F and a ton of snow still on the ground, it should prove to be interesting to say the least!
