Years ago, I went to a UNH-NU game at Watson Rink at Harvard.  I believe
that NU was playing at a neutral site because of some renovations at the
Arena.  Anyway, the game started at 7:00 but apparently the goal judges
thought that it started at 7:30 because, back then, that was when Ivy games
started.  Instead of delaying the start, the refs recruited two guys out of
the stands, including me, to be goal judges.  I was assigned the goal where
UNH was defending I don't think Northeastern had a shot in the 15 or so
minutes I sat there.

It'll only be a barn burner is someone other than John Gravallese refs the
game.
