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.
they are worse than men. it’s just a mytth.
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....
