I've spent the past 2 seasons doing sticks for the OVFL, hopefully I'll start on-field work with that league soon, I know that I need to put the work in, do the clinics get experience, and that takes time. Oh yeah, just because you're related to a high level official doesn't mean you should automatically jump the officiating cue. I have an uncle who is now in the CFL, yet I started at the bottom and have been working my way up. I wouldn't have expected anything different. Past performance does not indicate future success.

I agree with you on that. But he transferred from another association ie: Toronto to Ottawa and had to start at the bottom in Ottawa.
