For those that don't know I referee ice hockey and have been doing so for 9 years. I did a game in Cardiff on Saturday and assessed the highest number of penalties in my whole Career.

 

It was English National League Cardiff v Streatham. It was a nice quiet game, the teams lined up for the handshakes at the end, all going well until a Streatham player has a go at a junior Cardiff player and the Cardiff 'enforcer' takes exception and a scuffle begins, which turns into a fight, which turns into other players trying to pull them apart, which turns into those players fighting, which turns into multiple fights all over the ice and even a women spectator trying to get on the ice!!

 

I have two linesmen trying their best to break it up and me with my notepad recording more number than a bingo card!!

 

The result 18 match bans, 16 players and two coaches, now bearing in mind a game is only 60 minutes long played time I gave out ... wait for it....

 

 

553 minutes in penalties!!

do they have a respect campaign like in the football league? :rofl:

Oh my word, LMFAO :rofl: :rofl: Hockey is Awesome! :D :rofl: :rofl:

So what's the rules towards fighting.

 

I thought you were allowed to have a one on one at any point during the game without intevention ?. At least that's how I played 16 years ago at Romford Raiders :)

You can have one on one and get away with 2+2 during the game as long as it's a clean fight but when it's during the handshakes/resisting linesmen/multiple blows head and body the match penalty it is!

 

Romford player? says it all :tongue::D

I used to love playing ice hockey but sadly the rink heree in sunderland was closed ages ago :(

I guess Whitly Bay is to far??

Ive been playing hockey for over 20 years now and it is the best game in the world! There is nothing better than a good old bench clearance to get the referees earning there money!
