They’re being yelled at, disrespected, and broken down—by you. These kids are giving their time and effort to officiate the game we all love, but the way they’re treated is driving them away. Without officials, there’s no game. Coaches, parents—we need to do better. The future of hockey depends on us showing respect, patience, and encouragement. Let’s teach our kids the right way to handle adversity, both on and off the ice. It’s time to be the example our game—and our kids—deserve. #RespectTheRefs #HockeyCommunity #BetterTogether #HockeyParents #HockeyCoaches"
