[/quote:2nkmqg9m]It’s all a matter of perspective.
From my perspective, you’re all midgets.
The committee met last night, and the decision was made (pretty overwhelmingly really) to stick with the penguins.
The major change is that there will be a new top design and colours done over the next couple of months. All players competing in the Southern Ice Hockey League will wear this top – Beasts, Ducks, peewees Ducks etc will now only be for internal (DIHL, house leagues) use.
If anyone has suggestions for a logo involving penguins, top colours, maybe they can make suggestions – either here, or someone who knows more will post details of where to send them to.
Cheers for organising that Ryan. Good fun.
Though late night hockey just doesn’t work for me. Didn’t get to sleep until after 2am.
Yeah, I’ve a white one as well. I was going to ignore that!
I can probably make the Friday 8am meeting, but I can’t make the Thursday night ones, so hopefully people can fill me in.
It’d be really good if we could referee tomorrow night’s prem game as three man. Maybe take turns and do a period each. We do so much two man refereeing here, it’d be good to have one 3-man game beforehand to get back into the feel for that.
I’m up first for refereeing game 1 on Friday I think! Have to go back over puck leaving the ice and try and get a firmer feeling on which penalties are minors, which are double minors.
Can we meet at 7:30 tomorrow instead? The prems game takes ages to get started, it didn’t go last week until 8:45, and given that there’s only six of us actually officiating nationals, I’m not sure we could spend more than an hour talking about anything.
I presume we will continue to just be able to use the DIHA refs tops and grab them for each game as we need them.

All misconducts and match penalties go to the disciplinary committee as per the rules. It’s up to them whether they take any further action or not, we just make a report. Two members of the committee were there and saw the incident, so no doubt if they think the on-ice penalty was sufficient, then nothing further will come of it.
I didn’t make the call over you and Damien, Mark was refereeing that end at the time so he made the call on what you got.
The IIHF rulebook says:
“528 – FISTICUFFS OR ROUGHING
b) A player who starts fisticuffs shall be assessed a:
➤ Match penalty (MP)
c) A player who, having been struck, retaliates with a blow or attempted blow, shall
be assessed a:
➤ Minor penalty”The range of penalties that could have been given on Tuesday went from from minor penalty, to match penalty. We gave out two minors, and two misconducts. Mark probably would gave given more than the two minors, if he’d seen an instigator between you and Damien. Neither of us saw what started the fight, so one of you probably got off lightly.
It might have been more appropriate to give James a minor for retaliating, but James was also very keen to restart it when Ryan came over to talk to him, and he wasn’t exactly standing there appealing to the referee when Ryan initially held him. Ryan also could have been given a match penalty, but I didn’t feel it got into a full fight, and his instigation of the incident was as much grabbing James’ leg (hence the holding minor) as any beginning of a fight.
I had a couple of players approach me after the game and tell me that they thought we’d refereed it well and got the calls right. We don’t expect all players to be happy with the calls, but if players start throwing numerous punches, they’ve got to expect that they might get more than two minutes.
I don’t know what the story is in relation to it being a non-sanctioned DIHA event. None of the referees have been told anything about that, as far as we know referee and disciplinary procedures continue as normal. If that’s not the case then someone should be clear about what the process is.

SHould have been 2 minutes for showing too much love towards Simon lol.[/quote:3m84mh4d]Well there’s holding, and then there’s holding and pulling someone to the ground and clasping at them. I think Simon wasn’t so much calling for the referee to make a call, as begging for the referee to help him fend off your advances.
Seriously, I think the Jets are cursed. After coming back from 3-1 down, to tie it up at 4-4 to go into extra time, they let in the game-winning goal about a minute in.
Bit of roughing earlier in the game between (I think?) Ryan Wick and Damien Watson. Late in the game we had Ryan O’Keefe reacting to a hit from James van Leeuwen by holding onto his leg, which was quickly followed by some punches and words. Does he go out of his way to pick all the big guys on the other team to take on?
I think Jacques was involved in almost all the Sharks goals, Aaron must be getting really stick of the sight of him by now. Aaron played well with some nice saves to keep his team in the hunt I thought. Zanzee got one, and I think Paavo another? Jets spread it around more, couple of nice goals where they had to work it hard to get it past Toby.
Game was played at a good pace, some good hits and lots of skillful play. Both teams had over two lines, so still lots of keen players for these games to continue, which bodes well for people who are working on that NZIHL team next year.
I feel left out and rejected too!
Like I said in my email, hopefully Ryan and I don’t get too bossy and look over your shoulder the whole time while you’re doing this. You’re in charge now, I think we both just want to help.
One of the ways we can help, is make sure that you include us on mailouts of registration forms, schedules etc. That way we can help by picking up anything that doesn’t make sense or might be read the wrong way.
And… we want to register too!
