Slight resentment

I have to admit, sometimes I resent being called a 'volunteer'.

I feel like this makes me sound like I am giving up my precious time to do a favour for others.

I see officiating as a Job (an unpaid job but a job all the same.)

I say I 'work' a bout, that i'm just doing my 'job' and that with all the time it takes up, that I do a double shift if coming after work.

I'm not sure how others feel, but this is my opinion.

These type of meals are perfect for scrimmage and bouts. They don't need refrigeration and are perfect to share!

There should be one aimed at NSOs - "Do you have a permanent marker?"

“I often feel as though the Reffs don’t get enough respect.”

This is a major problem. If anyone has any suggestions as to why this happens or any ideas for solutions. Please let me know!

Learning a position takes time. Don't expect to be an expert from the get go

Respect - automatic or earned?

So I've got a very interesting comment thread going on my personal Facebook page at the moment. It's all about the lack of respect for officials. I think the general consensus is that Humans make mistakes and skaters expect officials to perfect and know their jobs 100%. But when something, anything may go wrong many benchies or skaters loose their shit! This is going to be an interesting article I'm writing!

These are adorable! Wish there was a NSO version. But alas we don't have a visually defining characteristic!

Jammer less jam

It is possible to have 2 jammers sitting in the box at the same time. If both jammers enter the box in between jams. They both serve 10 seconds at the start of the next jam. If one jammer has been released early due to the second jammer coming in then the first jammer comes back in: jammer two serves the reduced time in its entirety, jammer 1 serves an additional minute. This is called a 'penalty pair' and can only be reduced once!
