One of the sad things about the refs being "anonymous" now. Worst thing they ever did was take the names off.
Kinda funny old story: I was about 12 (early-1960s) at a game in Maple Leaf Gardens - yup...when it was still a hockey shrine - and some fan near us kept yelling "Ashley - you're a bum!" all game long...loudly and frequently, and likely semi-drunkenly. And, of course, John Ashely's name was on the ref jersey.
I'll bet that of the people in the arena or watching the game, less than 5% knew who the refs were tonight (or any other).
