Last season, Michael Bunting was involved in an incident with a referee. During an altercation on the ice, Bunting was ejected and the ref shoved him out of the ice.

Dan Kelly, the official that pushed Bunting out of the ice, has been promoted by the NHL to the full-time status. Interestingly enough, Kelly was also playing against Bunting in the AHL.

"Congrats to NHL linesman Dan Kelly - one of three NHL officials promoted to full-time status for the upcoming season"

"The guy who played against Michael Bunting in the AHL and pushed him down the tunnel as a linesman last season."

Let's hope that he'll get better at his job now that he's doing it full-time...
