Quote:Written Task: Are you going to fight with the ref? Or do you resign yourself to taking an undeserved penalty? Write some dialogue! Are you hot-headed or respectful? Is your player a veteran that has a long relationship with some of the leagues refs? Are they a young player that's not afraid to tell it like it is? IF YOU'RE A GOALIE: same question but different scenario: how do you talk to the ref about players hacking at you after the whistle? (150+ words)

"Sir. Excuse me Mr. Referee sir. Sir! I believe that you have made a grievous error in judgement in regards to the situation that just unfolded. I am aware that from your perspective and from the angle you were viewing the incident that I may have infracted the player on said play but I can assure you that this is not what occurred. The vantage point that you witnessed the apparent transgression was misleading. This is to no fault of your own of course, it is the speed of the game and what little support you get from the league management. You have a difficult job that few people appreciate and although I appreciate the pressure you are under when it comes to making quick decisive calls, at times mistakes can happen. I understand that you can't call that infraction back now or officially label it a mistake or get in trouble and possibly lose your job. I would just hope that any future situations where you are put in such a disadvantaged view, that you would re-assess the situation and re-think the way you would make that call.

Also, go fuck yourself and get some glasses you blind asshole."
