As much as everyone wants to do it, if you actually push the ref on purpose you are an absolute plug.

[@oriamir8994]

Don't be naive, No one grows up wanting to work as Ref. In hockey because the sport is so expensive to run even for the leagues themselves , even in these clips of semi pro leagues, and I'm sure in the UK league ..those refs were players before, AND are players of other teams, coaches working as refs in games of different teams. they got their faves, in which they make calls for sometimes. and I'm sure some earned what they got. we all seen shitty refs in the NHL, so imagine the level and bias in lower leagues.

[@TopCheese79]

@@oriamir8994 you are horribly mistaken and deeply cynical if that is what you believe. I have been a minor league ref for 8 years and in my experience it is very very rare for a ref to favour one team or another out of loyalty or favouritism. It is far more common that a ref will hold a grudge against a team for doing something stupid like pushing another ref.

[@iamLIMPaf]

18 months suspension, but he never played in a competitive match afterwards Edit: He was actually prosecuted by state attorney but the charges were dropped later

[@Alsebra]

My question is did his teammate get any punishment for his role in the fracas? The two officials (the one who drew the player's ire and a secondary official) are able to get the player broken away from his intended target...then one of his teammates rips the official away from the irate player, who then redoubles his attack on the original official. In that situation, either stay away from it or do something that speeds the conclusion (without injury to anyone)...he actively exacerbated the fight by pulling away the only person that was stopping the assault.

[@TrafficCamWatch]

A few of these should've been lifetime ban worthy.

[@MatthewDaSmitdog]

Being a ref in any sport ain't ever easy...but playing that role in hockey is easily the toughest. You don't have as much protective gear as the players, and the players themselves hold a wide range of personalities, where the worst offenders will absolutely push the boundaries while the refs simply do their jobs to keep tempers from boiling over between teams. Some calls they make can be wrong or inconclusive, but they never warrant physical assault in return.

3:16 number 69 need to get reprimanded to for pulling the linesman away from number 44 and by doing so allowing number 44 to completely assault the referee with punches. Both should be banned from playing ever again. In fact everyone in the blue team that tried to stop the team in white to help the referee after he get attacked then blue players come in and try to fight the team in white for trying to help the referee that is getting assaulted. Those players in blue that then started fighting the players in white that tried to help the referee they should also get banned. The players in blue should have instead tried to stop their idiotic teammate.

[@ajalonzo2705]

4:36 for me, not sure I would say the intent was to hit the ref with the net. More a sign of protest to the call. 5:03 that’s a pissed player. He didn’t attempt to hit the official. Worth a call for unsportsmanlike, no doubt, but not conclusive enough to say he tried to strike the ref with his stick. 6:13 you can see white isn’t letting orange get up For me as an official watching this, seems like some players don’t respect linesmen and forget they have just as much power as the guys with the floaties on. Respect your officials kids.

[@Papichulo1325]

I am a hockey referee (mostly work as a linesman but also do a lot of refereeing) anyway in a game where I was the ref we had a bit of shoving going on in front of the net after the whistle and one of my linesman who is a wrestler and is like 198cm tall, came between the players to observe and cool the situation down. Then some dudes started fighting and the other guy was not going to stop even after dropping the other guy to the ice. So he went to grab him when the player tried pushing him away almost punching him and he instinctively pushed him back on to the ice or like wrestled. Got a 12 game suspension on top of a fighting major which gives you like 3-5 games depending on the severity.

I don't know much about hockey, or the rules concerning contact with officials. I follow a sport called Australian Rules Football. It is in some ways comparable as a contact sport to Hockey. In that sport if you so much as touch an official you'd get a fine at least, a suspension, and in the case of assault, banned for life. I'm kind of amazed at this clip. If you let your officials get bullied or assaulted, sooner or later, no one wants to be an official. Then your game is screwed.

[@GuyIncognito575]

Keep in mind that this is a compilation video of stuff that doesn't normally happen. Everyone here was suspended, and some never played again. There is pretty much zero tolerance in hockey for physical contact directed at officials, although there is often incidental contact that goes unpunished when officials try to break up fights. There are also a couple of compilation videos of NHL players abusing officials. The most notorious recent one that it worth looking up is when Dennis Wideman had his brains scrambled by a hit into the boards and got up and crosschecked a linesman. He got a 20 game suspension for it.

[@richardtherichard26]

There’s no such thing as an “official pick up” game and no such thing as a “somewhat official” game. The game is either official “being governed by an association of officials” or it’s not. And unfortunately, no your referees can’t hit you back. At least not if they like their jobs.
