Semi-pro league accuses Hockey Canada of threatening officials who work their games
It seems a battle is brewing between a small semi-pro hockey league based in Ontario and Hockey Canada. The Western Ontario Super Hockey League, a senior men's league entering its second year in operation, is accusing Hockey Canada of threatening officials who agree to work their games. In a post on the league's official Facebook page, Director of Hockey Operations Bob Langdon said nothing has been mandated in writing by Hockey Canada prohibiting officials from working in the WOSHL, but claims there's plenty going on behind the scenes. Here's the statement in full:
Leagues across Canada and the United States have been lamenting the lack of officials to work games for a few years now. While there may be several causes, one of the major ones mentioned is the abuse that officials take from parents, players, and others attending games. So far, there's been no response from Hockey Canada on the WOSHL's accusations.
