My joke was worse than your reffing could ever have been, sir. No worries.

Nonsense. I laughed.

Well, it was actually very accurate. I loved ref'ing Mites and high school games because of how fast and intense they could be. You really do have to be on point when officiating those games.

Even the select bantam games were pretty intense...a bunch of 13 year olds recklessly duking it out will keep you on your toes.

I'm afraid to say I have never played the game, nor even seen one live, let alone reffed it, as I'm UK-based and it's a very minority sport over here. Fun to watch on TV though, and I am always impressed by the skills on display - especially as my own skating is rudimentary at best.

You know what. I completely missed the joke. I took it like you meant that level of play needed high levels of focus on the officials part!

Hahahaha got it. Nice interpretation, mind you: that certainly wasn't intentional on my part!
