I know about hockey due to previously working with the Tri-City Americans.

Yes the linesmen & the referee(s) all have whistles in hockey though only one whistle is normally heard.

Come on, RookieDude you should know how I got my name is due to the school name & mascot.

My actual last name has some hockey lineage in it, no basketball & no ski jumping.

...which got me to thinking...I wonder if Hockey officials ever have double or triple whistles? Do all the Hockey Officials even have whistles?

I have been part of two "triple whistles" this year...more than all of last year.

I stated that changing a charge call to a block is ugly...well, I guess triple whistles are right up there with that. Ugly and embarrassing.

...another off-topic thought...remember that dude that was a crazy ski jumper some years back? Wasn't his name Eagle or something like that?

...any relation chseagle?
