Swedish Hockey Referee Performs CPR, Saves Player’s Life
Total Pro Sports - Swedish Hockey Referee Performs CPR, Saves Player’s Life
Quote:
It is easy to portray officials of any sport as the enemy, and hockey refs are no exception. When they call a good clean game without any problems, everyone seems to think "well they should because that is their job." And in those cases when they happen to make a few blown calls, players, coaches and fans can't help but become enraged by their poor perception. At times it may be enough to make you want to throw something onto the ice.
So is there ever really a good time to praise a referee? Yes! Right after he performs CPR on the ice to save a player's life, as was the case in the Swedish Allsvenskan League this past weekend.
