Voss - Lines MJHL - 1/15/10

1:00 - 2:00 - Careful on 'cheating' to get to  a scrum quicker - Remember: It is more impressive to see you get a fast jump on action than it is to see you cheating towards a scrum.
3:00 - The tenor of the game - this game has one team that does not want to play hockey.  We all need to be on SUPER-HEIGHTENED AWARENESS ALERT.
5:00 -  Great hustle to get to those who are "stirring the pot."
7:30 - I talk about controlling your emotions in B.S. games.  It's natural to get amped up during B.S. hockey, but a great official keeps everything in control, including his response to B.S. play.



0:00 - Avoid patting players on the back/butt unnecessarily and how that could be perceived.
3:00 - Sight Lines - and why they are so critical for you as a ref, as a linesman, as any type of official.
5:00 - part of your face off cadence should be a quick double check of the number of players on the ice.  Cam does a good job here.
8:00 - Ever notice that a "questionable/controversial" waved off icing one way, usually ends up as an immediate icing going the other way???



0:00 - Long dissertation on using data to analyze a hockey game and predict how a period/game may unfold.  I point out reasons why period 3 will not be a repeat of period 2, and how understanding this can help you be a better official mentally.
5:00 - Be aware of play and GO-GO-GO at the same time.
6:00 - The mindset I would have if I were working this hockey game - "No one will out work me.  No one."
