1 and 1 flop

flavour is the equivalent of flavor I guess.

Do you want me to spell colour as well?

Us crazy cannucks like to complicate spelling. WE like to do it our way.

As for the Keiths... that's one of my favorites as well.

Oh yeah... I'm in Timmins by the way.

That's what happens when you have an alphabet that contains 52, not 26, letters. You know - A,A,B,A,C,A,D,A, ETC. 😉

Why? Two rookies can be very educational and help one of the other take a leadership role. The only way an official is going to get better is when they learn to handle situations that they are not used to. It is not my job as a veteran to hold the hand of a rookie. That is how they learn. I do what I can, but that is not my job.

No matter what level the game is, the kids deserve better than two guys who are still learning the ropes. There's a lot that can go wrong with two rookies on the floor. Lots of situations that they won't be able to handle from a rules standpoint. The case in point is a perfect example.

There's nothing wrong with taking a leadership role but there's a reason that they don't privates in charge of armies. Young officials should be paired with a more experienced partner. You didn't learn everything that you know on your own and neither did anyone else. We need to mentor young officials and give back to the game. If you don't care to do that, that's fine. But there's a huge need for it.

I second that thought!!
