penalty box
A few years back, my son was playing in a junior high summer tournament in Oregon. One of his teammates was a known hot head who was getting close to boiling. When he got too physical on a play, the ref called a common foul, then came over to the bench and said, "32 out, two minutes, pushing." I thought to myself, "We're at a hockey game?"
Coach put him on the bench for 2 minutes, the kid cooled down, came back in and finished the game with no problems.
At that level, at that venue, I thought it was a great piece of officiating.
