Officials now have nameplates on their jersey

[Northern Maroon]

What is the logic of this? I enjoyed listening to some fan yell horrible things at the wrong referee because he paid attention to the pre game announcement and picked one name to remember for both officials

Why are we giving the officials a more precise bullseye?

You mean going back, to nameplates on their jerseys.

We don't have referee name plates in the Q. We all just know all of their names.

Don't want to be a bullseye?...don't put yourself in a position to be a bullseye. They knew the job description when they signed up...shouldn't be able to hide behind a veil of secrecy. Name or not..they know when they're the target of the hecklers.

If a ref does a good job they shouldn't have anything to worry about. Then there's Joe Park who is a terrible OHL referee IMO. I'm not the only one who thinks so...heard complaints from fans in a few cities about him.

If a ref is getting compliments he's not doing his job either.

TRUE! Neither of them are happy until they have become the center of attention and taken all flow and enjoyment out of the game.

That call on Santos last week during the home opener was terrible! Head shot and a game misconduct when it was clearly shoulder on shoulder, and the replay confirmed it. Coulombe never had his arm up for an infraction until the player fell to the ice....

Go back to one referee and save some money, at least you only had one set of eyes not seeing anything....
