The game was decent

Portage Central beat the Blades 4-0, and the worst part of the game was a Blades player going into the boards hard and head-first.
He was taken off on a stretcher, but I've heard he is O.K. A concussion and a shoulder injury, but he'll be fine.
The player that hit him got a major and a game disqualification. His coach and his dad were both adamant he didn't deserve the penalty, claiming a video of the hit clearly demonstrated it was not a check from behind.
Well, gentlemen, it was. That's what the call was, and both referees had it. We don't get the privilege of watching a video tape in slow motion to make our calls. We have a second or two to decide, and we did.
Anyway, that's about it for the weekend. Church was great this morning, as usual. I love Pastor Phil. The rest of the day should be relatively relaxing.
Here's to hoping.

I had a similar situation over the weekend after a Peewee B tournament game. A disgruntled parent mentioned how bad a ref I was. Something about an elbowing call and he had it on tape.

See you at the rink.
