Glad to hear the ref did that anyway. Said this before, but I recently used to work spring hockey tournaments for about 5 years (as an arena coordinator/point of contact, not a ref), and some of the abuse hurled at refs I've witnessed - especially teenage ones - is beyond embarrassing. Don't get me wrong, there's plenty of nice parents at those events. But there's also "those" types of parents, sadly they're not rare either.

The part that really gets me is they're usually not rubadub-looking types either, but well-dressed, clearly well-to-do people with I assume good, influential jobs. Just seems extra gross some of the leaders driving our economy are such asshats to refs who look like they're in grade 9. It's shameful, and a little scary frankly

Edit: I just told my born & raised Sasky gf about the incident. She has informed me that if it was a P.A. team, the parents in question were probably rubadubs, lol.
