The power of the neck guard. #canucks

@ToughCallPod @Scruffycc Hockey Canada Rule 3.2, particularly interpretation #1

[Darren Mahaffy @RefDarren]

@TSN_Sports This is great! Now @HockeyCanada needs to make this mandatory for officials

[Darren Mahaffy @RefDarren]

@hi2lolly @BCHockey_Refs @ScoutingTheRefs @Zachary11_87

[Darren Mahaffy @RefDarren]

@BCHockey_Refs That young official has a real future!

[Darren Mahaffy @RefDarren]

@BCHockey_Refs Kid is already embracing wall-ball. Certain @BCHockey_Refs are thrilled 😁

[Darren Mahaffy @RefDarren]

@BCHockey_Refs I think @Zachary11_87 is actually reliving most of his penalties from his playing days #moveyourfeet

[Darren Mahaffy @RefDarren]

@ScoutingTheRefs @BCHockey_Refs represent!

[Darren Mahaffy @RefDarren]

@ScoutingTheRefs Meier was bent at the knees. Looking down at the puck doesn’t lower the head 8 inches. Trouba’s first point of contact was his forehead! Terrible non call

[Darren Mahaffy @RefDarren]

I know the refs shouldn’t decide games or some bs like that…but that logic (maybe) applies to 50/50 calls and battles. Trouba targeted the head, snapped it back when he hit Meier. In an @hockeycanada game I’m going Major and GM. Game 1 of the season or game 7 of a playoff series

[Scouting The Refs @ScoutingTheRefs]

A quick refresher on the playoff rulebook, from a piece we did for Rob Vollman's @HockeyAbstract a few years back...

I was thrilled to be part of the @BCHockey_Source Senior Women’s AA Championships this weekend. Some photos of the great crews I worked with and watched.

[Darren Mahaffy @RefDarren]

Championship Sunday begins at Hope and District Arena for the @BCHockey_Source St Women’s AA banner. Bronze at 10:00 and Gold at 12:15. Your @BCHockey_Refs are ready for some great hockey.

[Darren Mahaffy @RefDarren]

This crew worked a very tough game with excellence. Sometimes our @BCHockey_Source players step over the line, and this team was there to ensure safe and fair hockey.

[BC Hockey Officials @BCHockey_Refs]

This is an example of why we need to support officials and not worry about the fragile egos of the coaches, parents or executives who berate, belittle or bully them. @BCHockey_Refs …I’ve got your back

[Darren Mahaffy @RefDarren]

That’s a crew!

[BC Hockey Officials @BCHockey_Refs]

BCHockey Officiating leaders Drew Hatch, Kirk Wood & Owen Barry arrive early Saturday morning for a CSSHL game inside Summit Centre in Abbotsford

[Darren Mahaffy @RefDarren]

@BCHockey_Refs Hatch telling all and sundry…”It depends”

[Darren Mahaffy @RefDarren]

I would never step on the ice with a bias toward one team or another. But in a game I’m not refereeing… go Cumby.
