1. District 9 has fined our first Association for Abuse of Officials.  This season has been the worst I have experienced.  Please send out a notice to your members asking them to refrain from this poor fan behavior.   It seems like a weekly issue this season.  I have dealt with 4 this week already.   We need this behavior to stop.  Remind all that a 3-game suspension is the 1st penalty, the 2nd time will be a 1-year suspension and a $500 fine, the 3rd time will be a 2-year Suspension and a $1000 fine.  If no improvement is seen, we will move to a 1-year suspension as our first penalty and the person will need to attend a hearing.
2. Going forward, if a team has a video that they would like reviewed, I will only look at it after your Association D9 rep has reviewed and talked through what this video is to accomplish, and it makes sense.   The video must be sent by the D9 Representative to me.  Calls will not be changed from a video; but we may add to a call with a video review.  We do utilize some of these videos for teaching videos with our referee group.  I receive too many videos, some come from MN Hockey that our members send to them.  MN Hockey will not do anything with a video, they will just forward them to me.  Spectators need to remember that their view is different that what a referee sees, the angle is different, and the referees have pucks and players to navigate.  I promise they are doing their best job.

Have a Great Holiday.
