I remember an interview years ago with a male ref in Roller Derby.

He said he had his skull fractured a number of times and was bitten, kicked in the slats, etc. while reffing the woman’s matches.

He said they were worse than the men.

Maybe Bob Costas should weigh-in on this!
Better this than changing the name of the Redskins!

Neither Fox Sports nor Canoe.ca states where the game was played. No dateline or anything.

I played hockey for 20 years and loved the fighting.

US player runs Canada Goalie and turtles after being challenged. Both teams come in to discuss and two individuals get a little animated. Would be interested to see how penalties shook out. I know the faceoff is outside the zone. Nothing too earthshaking. However if I was the US player that ran the goalie and turtled I would definitely increase my on ice awareness the next time the teams meet.

As an individual who has done his share of lining hockey at different levels, one never, never, grabs a player from behind and immobilizes their arms like that. It is begging for a free shot after which the place is up for grabs

One thing I will say about officiating women’s hockey. They are way more creative with trash talking and insults to opposing players than guys ever will be. Some of the things I have heard on the ice from the ladies REEEOOOOOOWWWEEERRR They also can play the game....

its standard, there’s no fighting allowed in IIHF competition, be that as it may, you and me both know as players there’s a code to be upheld, and this sorta thing doesn’t surprise us.
