There are a couple smaller gym leagues that are absolutely bush, but the full rink ones and ones based near Surrey tend to have solid refs.
I find the tough guy antics are usually in ice as well. Infact my experience here is that ice guys are usually the problem causers as they bring an attitude of "I play on ice most of the time so I'm awesome." Problem for them is, in Vancouver atleast, that ice here is essentially "Can you skate well? You're the new best player." So they have no shot, no ball handling skills and no real pace cause they are used to gliding. They get frustrated and get dirty get ejected and blame the referees.

It must be opposite down here then, because it seems like the guys who play ice generally respect the game and players moreso then the ones who sign up to be s*** starters.
When we did co-ed ball hockey, we had a guy lay one of our girls out over the boards.
Chalms got kicked out for laughing once too.
