Not sure how many refs we have here but tonight my compression top ripped and I ended up taking the ice without it, and my forearms and hands practically froze. Normally I hold the whistle on my left hand and make signals with my right, and am left handed, but I could not feel my hand from doing so many faceoffs so had to switch. It felt pretty weird and I had to think an extra split second to remember to raise my whistle to my mouth with my right hand, but wasn't too bad overall.
Just curious about people's whistle handedness; there's one ref I work with a lot who I know is a lefty, but his whistle hand is his right hand, and mine's my left. I wonder if I'm in the minority like how I am being a lefty who shoots left when I skate out.
