is the URL of this blog still accurate? I'm beginning my fifth year of officiating, but there are definitely times I feel like a baby ref.
There were four referees at scrimmage last night, so I took a half as sole OPR. Was told to keep an eye out for the new metric on back blocks. Only saw one that was suspect, but I was too far away to see exactly where contact was made.
It was nice to OPR; I haven't done it since...geez, since the Cup, I think. Got me working different skating skills, different things to watch, got me warmed up in the (barely heated) practice space nicely.
Buying new knee pads. The ones I have are old old old (I think I got them while I was still playing) and are quite bulky. I'm going to go with 187 Pro Derby. Hopefully they'll work; I want something slimmer, but since I'm ancient and my knees are even ancienter, I need something with a lot of protection. But as a referee, I don't necessarily fall as much.
