WANT HOCKEY? BE NICE TO YOUR REFS
Refs, in 2019 left hockey in droves and are not being replaced. Refs of all ages are leaving and in all sports, why? Parents screaming and swearing over their children's house league games, soccer games, baseball etc." Some of the reason is that coaches feel they can scream and swear at refs in front of their players. This is unacceptable role modelling Iin front of kids and what does it accomplish?
Imagine telling a 16 ref, "Open your F*****g eyes ref", "YOU SUCK" why would they stay. Refs are not entering in reffing schools as much either.
Ref Jason Lesage is advocating for parents to enjoy their children playing and let them develop on their own. He has reffed for over 20 years at various levels.
Hi s knowledge, his stories, his experiences will help us keep sports going tfor kids as refs are leaving sport because of player, coach and parent behaviour.
