Summary of post ref intentionally changes rules to alter outcome of game:
Before the game one of the refs is socializing and hanging out with the team on the bench. The first shift they dump the puck in our zone, and retrieve it around the other defense-man. The forward shoots the puck, and the other forward I am covering skates backwards into me, and then high sticks me in my throat and cage making the distinct stick on metal sound. I fall to the ground, and the forward gets the rebound off the shot and scores. I ask the ref honestly man you know that was a high stick and you waived no penalty then waived it a goal. That high stick directly lead to a goal, and the ref replies" when you are skating backwards you can't see where you stick is." I say the rule states you have to be in control of your stick at all times, and you know that. By your own logic if you are driving backwards and can't see behind you are not responsible for anything you hit. He says "he skated into backwards you, and his stick didn't see you." A guy yells from our bench that ****ing bull **** sticks don'y have eyes! They can't see anything you are making **** up." He gives us a penalty warranted or not still bogus. The ref is justifying him intentionally not calling a rule. They get a power play. They skate into the zone, we dump the puck out of the zone to center ice. They have a forward still in the offensive zone, that never left. The defense-man does not even go after the forward entering the zone, because it is clearly offside. The forward gets a breakway because the other forward never left the zone. They score. The ref says it is a goal, and the defenseman was like that is ******** you know it was offside. The ref says " I am more concerned with your teams mouths then calling offsides." We score a goal and make it 2-1. AS the period is ending I steal a puck center ice and go on one with the defense-man, and as I skate by him grabs me and holds me. Another player comes from behind and checks me in the numbers. The ref only calls the hold, not the check from behind in beer league. I ask the ref why was there not two calls, one for the holding and another for the check. The same ref replies " why should I call it when your team runs their mouth at me." I laughed at him and said bad reffing leads to bad hockey.This game is going to get out of hand. The opening face off for the next period the other team and our team is yelling at each other over the hit. A guy comes off their bench being the sixth man and skates toward our team's center and pushes him. Telling him checking is part of hockey, and stop being a whiny *****. The center looks at the ref and says you are really going to allow a sixth man to enter the ice and do this without calling anything. The ref doesn't say anything. The center then pushes the player back and tells him go to the bench so we can play hockey. Our team gets two minutes for unsportsmanlike conduct. They score on the power play which is three goals directly related to intentional bad reffing. We end up losing 4-1. We asked the other ref about it after the game, and he said he was the head ref can't change his call. The other ref died laughing said just report the ref all you can do.They score another power play goal after hitting the goalie after, and our playing threw the guy on the ice and shoved it. I think should have went both ways, but it was a justified. The captain talks to the rink manager about this ref, and he says file a complaint with head ref. I don't get involved with reffing. The captain filed a complaint with the head ref, and he said I wasn't there. This is just hearsay and there is nothing I can do. What can you do about a total biased and unfair situation like this?
