I went through much the same experiences when I refereed minor hockey. That was a long while ago and by the sounds of things it has gotten much worse.
More recently I have been officiating Muay Thai at the international and professional level. From novice to professional there is nothing but respect from the fighters and coaches towards each other and the officials. Obviously this is taught along with their fighting skills. Why can't this be a part of the training for other sports such as hockey?
