Quote of the Week
 This weeks theme - Why Officials "Officiate"
The quote above was shared when I did a talk for Vancouver Island Amateur Hockey and their concerns about official abuse and how one parent stated in an email to the VIAHA president they had the God-Given right to do so. Over a year later I still shake my head how someone could think abusing others is acceptable in any shape or form.
