I have reffed for a couple of years now (by a couple, I mean 14). I now ref competitive and high calibre hockey. The thing that got me higher leagues is that I NEVER GUESS AT A CALL.

The refs should not have made a call if they did not see it. Regardless of it being rec hockey. Typically, to around 40 guys on the ice, this is their NHL. Refs should always treat it that way.

Also to the OP: If this game was at FDB after the Team Canada Female Olympic team vs. Calgary Buffaloes, then that bald ref with the goatee was a complete loser. Not fit to carry my bag to the rink, and not fit to ref any hockey anywhere.
