I stumbled upon this comment while researching tournaments for my son's midget team. I thought it was ironic that an American parent would write about perceived injustices at a Canadian tournament in much the same way Canadian minor hockey teams often complain about calls by referees at U.S. tournaments. Is it all in the eye of the beholder?
Here's the post, left on a site affiliated with an arena in Toronto I did not clean up the spelling.
refereeing was atrocious this year and favored canadien teams we just came home early from the tournament this weekend and shouldnt have. 4 goals scored by our buffalo team in 2 games were called off because "the net was off" this happened in rink 1 and 3. in the opinion of our spectators and even a few of the oppositions parents we were screwed by the refs. this cost us the chance to advance to the semi finals. this evening and the possibility of the championship game on sunday. in 2 years with this team and 7 touraments in the toronto area, i would have to say the referreeing seemed to favor the canadien teams, (but i may be looking at that with rose colored glasses), this has been by far the worst and most biased penalty and goal reversal job by the refereeing staff that i have seen. 4! goals reversed in 2 games! utter bull kaka!!! the true meaning of"homer" bob ny
