[quote=BlueG2;7515869]I wonder if some of these refs are fully certified.
[QUOTE]
VIHL and Sportsplex refs are both certified by the same sanction, NIHA.
And honestly, the test isn't all that hard. As long as you played hockey for a good amount of time(not noob) or is an avid hockey fan(not bandwagoners) anyone can pass the test. I'd say contact Tajiri and let him know about any poor reffing.
PICH refs, are supposed to be certified, by it's not by NIHA, so i don't know what is with them. But PICH refs are the worst. I only came across a few good refs, one of them being fresh out of JR A(played for the giants), but the rest of them are blind as fuck. I got called hooking when I lifted an opposing players stick and another time, some guy tried to fancy deke me and kicked my skate and tripped, I got called for tripping. Most of the time, they don't even want to be there. Lame.....

what pisses me off are teams including my teammates who yell at everything the ref does or doesn't do. And it's always the lower end players on every team that seem to do this.

+1 for VIHL refs, especially compared to PICH. Langley refs aren't too bad either, except we had an all asian team in copper 1 and came across this 1 racist ref.
