Because I think there are some that do and many that don't, and I'm pretty sure Central Zone doesn't pay the refs. Am I right?

Central Zone refs get paid for the first Minor Hockey Week game in each division (since it also counts as a league game) but do not get paid for any other games during the week.
I've heard that some communities pay their refs during the week, but I think that it is the exception rather than the rule. [/b][/quote]
I think Minor Hockey and Central Zone should rethink this whole thing for next year. It just seems to me that in the biggest tournament of the year, which means a lot to the kids, the refs should be getting paid. It just leaves the door open for refs who couldn't care less and go out there to ref a terrible game. And I've seen it this year. Some of the refs do a brutal job, and you know they just don't care.
They should be paid. I mean, it's not that much more money to pay these guys, and IMO, it's money well spent.
