And on ice. Until last March, I'd never been ice skating before. Hockey's always been my second-favorite sport, and I always respected the players for how tough I'd heard ice skating was. But, after I stepped on the ice and did it for about 90 minutes, my respect grew even more.

I have officiated football at the high school level, basketball at the high school and lower college levels and baseball at the high school, college and lower professional levels.

When comparing the three sports from an officiating stand point, I consider the width and breadth of the rule knowledge required, mechanics, variety of situations possible, the number of rulings that need to be made in a game, and the critical level of judgement.

Baseball comes out as the most demanding.
