Refereeing is a thankless job. No matter the calls you make, some group of people is bound to hate you for it.

In a girls U16 game, a referee was caught trying to make the game a little less stressful for himself.

The referee is very clearly under the influence of something, and that's definitely not the influence (excuse the pun) we want to see at a young girls hockey game.

Luckily, he was removed from the game soon after, so he could no longer pose a danger to the girls, or to himself.
