I like the one ref system as well. I caught 10 WCHA games this year and I'll be honest - The officiating wasn't very good. I think the 2 ref system should not be in place because: When you have 2 refs- you get 2 different perspectives of the game and 2 different opinions of a penalty. The 1 ref system allows the ref to let players control the outcome of the game. He will call penalties the way the game is going- trying to even them out (if possible). The 2 ref system puts the outcome of the game back in the refs hands. You have 2 refs calling 2 different games- and the result is a lot of penalties and a boring game or a bunch of penalties for one team and hardly any for the other. The only good thing I see- in the 2 ref system is the fact that obvious penalties aren't missed. But the negatives outway the positives--1 ref system is better. I've played with both systems and really prefer the 1 ref. Jason Roy
