The MIAA Mass High School Hockey State Tourney Round of 8 is upon us! Win or not, do it with grace and most importantly, enjoy the EXPERIENCE. Officials have worked hard all season for the privilege to make split second decisions in these max pressure moments. Congrats to all!

Taunton resident accused of assaulting hockey refs - Boston News, Weather, Sports | WHDH 7News https://t.co/hoXrRaqwFS

ASSAULT. Over the weekend, 2 veteran Massachusetts referees were assaulted after an @MIAA033 hockey game by a mother who "wanted an explanation" about a 2 min penalty. A father (same team) was ejected earlier for verbal abuse. This is not OK. Expect swift action. @MSHCA1

Great opportunity for officials to get a look at the next level.

[MA Hockey Officials @MassOfficials]

Being selected to officiate a playoff game- no matter what league or level- is always an honor, and it's even more special when you get to do it alongside your friends.

Here's to everyone working the playoffs! Skate hard, have fun, be the best team on the ice!
