It also pertains to minor hockey. We have just finished a tournament in St. Catherine's, Ontario - the Vic Teal. The refereeing was appalling as they allowed head shot after head shot go. It appeared that they were more concerned of ensuring that the games started and ended on time than the actual safety of the players. Some of them were even verbally abusive with the kids when thay complained about the unnecessarily rough play. It was a great tournament to teach smaller players that hockey isn't for them. Our team, 1 minor concussion and 2 injured necks. Too bad that this tournament reflects so poorly on an otherwise pleasant community. We won't be returning or advocating the Vic Teal to anyone, ever. Meanwhile, what is Hockey Canada and the Ontario Hockey Association doing about it? Probably nothing!starodayearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15048004579740761880noreply@blogger.com
