Diebold - Jr Gold Lines - 2/15/10

2:45 - An official should be 3-5 ft. inside the blueline as play comes across.  Mike, you consistently put yourself at the 5 foot mark, and my concern is that it will be perceived that you are out of position.
4:50 -  Mike is a card-carrying member of the 5% Club on Blue Line Calls (he does what only 5 % of the refs out there will do -- very exclusive club -- more members wanted!)
5:50 - Another 5 foot stop on a line call



0:45 - Great Hustle!!
2:00 - I talk about Olympic officials and the natural competition that occurs in an event like the Winter Olympics.
7:00 - Definite 5% Club Member on icings - great example here!



0:50 - 5 foot mark on blue line call and play is on the opposite side of the ice.  You then go to the 5 foot mark when play pushes you there, which is appropriate.
3:30 - I talk about "Who Do You Share Ultimate Officials With?"
6:00 - I tell the "Crab in the Bucket" Sermon.
7:00 - 10:00 -  More talk on human nature - life lessons here = hockey is life.
