Some people love them, some people hate them, but either way, referees are a huge part of the hockey game. They are right there when we don't want them to be, and they aren't there when we need them to be. From breaking up fights (or letting the fight continue), whistling icings, dodging players, calling (or missing) penalties, referees do a lot during the game.

"You must be a good skater."

"You get to work with children."

"Are your eyes open?"

"You're always there to break up the fights!"

"Players must hate you for breaking up fights."

"That was NOT a penalty!"

"He was totally there! That was NOT icing."

"How do you stay out of the way?"

"How do you avoid hitting players?"

"How's your life insurance policy?"

"You must love your job!"

"You might be having too much fun."

"Do you have favoritism to certain teams?"

"Do you like the players?"

"You must see some weird stuff."

"You must do some weird stuff."

"You have so much power!"

And there you have it, folks. Referees do some funny things on the ice, intentional and unintentional. Sometimes we hate them, and sometimes we love them, but they're doing their jobs to the best of their ability, and make us laugh in the process.
