The offender argued, loudly and with absolute conviction, that he didn’t trip the player, “he only fell because he skated over my stick, that’s HIS fault not mine!” Between his wording and the conviction in his voice, my cousin had to pause for a second to process it in his mind and confirm he had made the proper call.
