NHL: Refs Mic'd Up Part 2

[@curtismcgillivary7667]

They really are like parents trying to encourage and control rowdy kids lol Boost their self esteem, appeal to their reason, and when all else fails send em to time out.

[@rockerseven]

I was just about to comment how they remind me of teachers looking after a kindergarten class lol.

[@benwilsonMMA]

Canadians are the best at calming people down lol

[@madisonmorris7394]

I can only imagine the refs as parents telling the Karen moms that look at them in horror “Aye? Yea we let em fight. Why you say? Gets their energy out when we put em down for a nap. We step in if they fight with the sticks or get too rough tho... but makes bedtime a lot easier on our end too”

[@jim_again2245]

Lol professional athletes are just rowdy kids

[@alp2va]

I love that the refs trash talk just as much as the players sometimes

[@chrisbegetis3414]

Myles Hecht nice your a ref, what province or stat do you ref in? I ref in Quebec at the regional level

[@germangoose4291]

I ref HNO from Atom to PeeWee

[@alistairviegas8995]

Aldof Goose GTHL and Alliance for me

[@squigglyjeffdude]

I ref in Ontario, starting competitive soon

When you're getting paid 150k to do it I guess you have that luxury 😂 when I was getting $150 a game in junior we could not do that shit

[@BuNUGly]

"If I call that penalty, that's a tough standard to keep all night" such honesty from a ref

[@igrojikku2212]

If I give you a treat I have to give them a treat deal 🤣🤣

Yeah man basically means you gonna get called for the same thing so careful wtf you wish for.

[@hungtotheover3385]

I love the way the refs treat the players. Knowing their names and asking how their doing, something I always miss with baseball

[@Mark-jr6ld]

Too many baseball umps have big egos, like they think the fans are there to watch them perform.

[@IkilledColMustard]

Because if a ump says hi to one player the other team’s manager will cry foul. Because baseball players are bunch of pussies.

[@bentheswitchsportsfan06]

Sounds like my mom when she hits me only for her to say "i didnt do it" 5 seconds later 😂

[@N8R_Quizzie]

I think it's so cool that the refs have to be Athletic, and tough like the players. They also seem really chill in explaining their reasoning. This is about the opposite of baseball umpires.

[@rexmcdowd]

Right? Imagine Joe West trying to ref a hockey game.

[@N8R_Quizzie]

@@rexmcdowd he'd stand in the corner calling penalties and SWEARING that he saw everything perfect on the other side of the ice 😂

[@MuchNoob]

The reason refs for hockey are better than other sports is because almost all of them have played at a decent level. Other sports anyone can ref but hockey you have to skate which means they played hockey or something else on ice

[@madisonmorris7394]

Refs have less padding than the players. I’ve seen them get hit. They’re some tough bastards I’ll tell ya. The things I’ve seen them skate away from.

[@Justthatguy1998]

Well baseball players and umps try to compensate their boring “sport”

[@k45207]

Do you have a question?? 😂😂😂 o man I’ve never heard that one, that’s great

[@evman1094]

I actually used a similar line in a Bantam AA game once. 1st period just ended, players were all in the dressing room, coach calls me over, starts complaining about a missed call earlier in the period(something that happened behind me I never could have seen) so i cut him off like 10 seconds into his rant and said "Did you have a question for me or did you just call me over to bitch?" "Well no I'm just tryi-" "Alright then we're done here, you can talk to me through your captain for the rest of the game."

[@kyle9513]

TheHumanity! Haha actually that’s prefect

[@kyle9513]

Evan Strickland Hahahaha well done. Shut the whining up quick fast and in a hurry

[@MM-qi5mk]

I use what when I umpired a lot. If they don’t have a question just say “ ok “ and walk away politely

[@Bewchaca]

[@johnt9198]

"He wont talk to me cuz I have a mic on" Good to see that happens in every sport lmao

"Too long. Let's go sit for a couple" Lol. They're like the parents of a bunch of little kids. Gotta send 'em to timeout every now and then.

[@teejwags1978]

really like these mic'd up vids, especially the refs. gives you insight in the game that you don't get on TV or even in the arena

Soccer: *doesn't allow fans to do anything when someone scores 3 goals* NHL: *allows fans to throw hats onto the ice when someone scores 3 goals*

[@k45207]

Wes McCauley is such a bamf they should mic him every game

[@HousewolfDaddy]

Wes McAuley needs to voice the refs for NHL video games.

[@k45207]

Justin Brewer oh that’s genius they should do that. Hell put him on the cover lol I’d much rather prefer that then weird fake interviews with snoop dogg and the announcers like they have in nhl20 lol

[@jackbeardsley1819]

The banter and the relationship that the ref's and players have is honestly so amazing! The players try to test the ref's sometimes and tney just go dad mode and start talking to them as if they are 10..... but it actually works 😂😂

[@XDlosDominicans]

"Hey! He's not putting his stick in you. You keep your stick out of him!" LMAO That sounds so wrong

[@dknadeau0912]

I love seeing these videos. The refs are great. “Those two are getting cross checking penalties, anybody else want one?” So funny

[@blackbirdgaming8147]

"He got him in a headlock down to the ice, so we lose our top defenseman on that one play; 'just so you know'" "Do you have a question?" "No, no, just so you know..." "K." *skates away* lol that killed me

[@ryanstejskal1506]

Hockey's not my sport, but we're trained to do the same thing when officiating - "answer questions, not statements". If the coach has a question and asks it reasonably, they get an answer - but if they're just making a statement, any response risks giving the coach an opening for an argument.

I've been working around players and refs for years now and I love these videos. Nothing bugs me more than those people that cry about the refs playing favorites or that they are being 'paid by the other team'. These videos show the real relationship that the refs and players have. Thank you for putting these together.

[@johnr797]

To be fair, they do know when they're mic'd, so..

[@saucerset12]

[@alvinwagner6745]

“If I call that penalty that’s a tough standard to keep all night”! That’s real Solomon type wisdom there.

[@StewartUSAF]

As a referee, that's a reasonable thing to say. However you call it, it's important to call it at the same level all match. If it's 2 for "You Can't Do That" at a minute in, it's 2 for "You Can't Do That" at 19:00 in the Third of a tie game.
