What I think the biggest problem with the refereeing in college hockey, and something that I really don't understand at all, is why is the entire responsibility of keeping the game in control placed on the shoulders of one person? I am a relatively new fan of college hockey, and I am amazed by the fact that only one referee is able to call penalties in a game. Why are the linesmen not allowed to call anything other than offsides and icing? I cannot think of any other team sport where only one official is allowed to call penalties/fouls (I am thinking primarialy of football and basketball, however). Personally, I think that it is an impossible job for one offical. My opinion is that the quality and consistancy of the officiating would be much improved if the linesmen were given an expanded role in officiating games. ^>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<^ ^ Geoffrey Wehrman ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK | / | | ^ ^ [log in to unmask] ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK | / | | ^ ^ ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK |/ | | ^ ^ The University of Kansas ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK | \ | | ^ ^ Lawrence, Kansas ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK | \ \__/ ^ ^<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>^
