Maybe now that he has lots of free time, he's officiating middle school games.

Him and Boroski, best middle school crew in the nation!

Yeah, but what the Hess crew did on top of that is that they had a goaltending call that would've been for Connecticut and they wiped that and didn't score it as if nothing happened. . .

I totally remember that game - Ollie from UConn kept asking why the score for the goaltend didn't count?

That's the 2nd middle school game I've heard of this season that had that exact scenario happen in a game....It doesn't surprise me that the same officials who allowed teams to line up in the wrong direction don't know how to administer the rule to resolve this situation. That's EXACTLY why they're working those middle school games....
