Either way, the fact that you can't bring out a rule book is just another way to protect refs from responsibility (coupled with avoiding delays of the game, which means it would make more sense for a delay of game bench-minor than an ejections).
But that's pretty low on my list of transgressions with Hockey Calgary/Alberta/Canada. That list begins with taking hitting out of PeeWee, which I think is full-blown idiocy.

Why? Hitting will be out of all minor hockey lower then AA within the next 10 years, and really so it should be. Heck, hitting is nearly out of the NHL yet for some reason people still believe that 12 yr old kids should be able to go out there and rail road 11 yr old kids. There is no good argument for having hitting in minor hockey, especially at any level lower then AA Bantam.
