A goal judge cannot call a goal: this can only be done by the referee (and perhaps linesmen?). A goal judge *signals* that he has seen the puck go in as a goal. A goal judge *may* be asked by the referee for such things as did it go in before the whistle or was it kicked in. If this is substantially wrong I hope our experts can straighten me out!)
