You really are a rookie, aren't you?
It has nothing to do with luck. We all have games that are cancelled.
You make up for it when you get a call for a fill-in.

Anyone else feel like we should still be compensated at least half of the referee fee for games cancelled due to reasons other than weather or other major problems like electricity went out, flooding in school because of a plumbing problem, etc.? This really pisses me off that I missed out on $200 in 5 days.

No, absolutely not.
If you leave home on your way to a game and they cancel, yes, you should receive half fee.
If you arrive at the school and they have to cancel after you arrive, you should receive half game fee.
If you arrive at the school and find they cancelled but didn't call you, you should be paid the full fee.
If you start the game and it has to be cancelled, you should be paid the full fee.
But if they cancel and inform you properly, you're entitled to zero compensation.

But cancellations are never made up and the school would gain that money.

Dude, it's their money.
Besides that, they lose money too. Gate and concessions.
You really need to let it go. It's gonna happen, to all of us.
