He asked for it!

Here's my two bits on this one Craig.

For one, you should not have asked your partner about calling the penalty. Whether or not you should call it at all is debatable (I could see either side of that argument), but in a two man system, you see it (or hear it) you call it. Especially if it is clear the other official did not. Don't be so deferential to your partner in that situation, just make the decision on your own and your partner should be supportive.

As for the other note. You mentioned wearing your BCAHA patch in a non-sanctioned league event. Be careful with that. There are some associations that are adamant about not wearing the patch in non-sanctioned hockey. That is one of the more annoying ways to find yourself suspended.

Good luck
