Check out the candid discussion with NHL referee Kelly Sutherland in ESPN The Magazine (or, via the link, on ESPN The Website). It’s a brief but enjoyable reminder that, as much as fans may revile the men in stripes, they too are fans of the game and work hard to get the calls right. I particularly enjoyed Sutherland’s anecdote of being mistaken for Kerry Fraser in his first and being heckled with a hearty “Fraser, you suck!” even before the puck dropped.
In light of linesman Pat Depuzzo’s injury ten days ago, take a moment and appreciate the on-ice officials, without whom there could be no game.
