My grandson's wife is a hockey coach.  She played professionally.

I was a professional ref,  for a little bit. 

I have a certificate, suitable-for-framing.

They let highschool kids ref little-kid games.

You don't want that job.

At my daughter's college games,  I'd sometimes move and sit with the opponent's parents.  Because our parents were assholes.

Ref training made you a better hockey player.  Because you could argue with them.  I read the book.  You're wrong.

Once (adult league), in a flurry of murder-death-kill, in front of the net, the puck went into the skate-flap, behind my ankle. And stuck there.

I didn't know it was there.

Some guy blasted me, and most of my body, took the goalie out, went into the net.

With the puck, in my skate.

It was a goal.

They waved it off. "You kicked it in!"

No I didn't. That guy freight-trained me in. There was no whistle. It's a goal.

I don't think we got that one.

Long ago, some Penguin game, it was a flurry in front of the net. Goal!

The goalie just laid there, most of his body in the net. Whistle. And he just laid there. And laid there.

The replay was showed probably a goal. But he just laid there. You couldn't see the puck.

One guy skated from the bench, and grabbed him by the skate-blade, and dragged him out of the net.

No goal.

You can't prove it.

I don't think dragging the goalie out of the net, by the skate-blade, is in the book.

Saw a sports news report which said a hockey game broke out at a fight.
