For those of us who have had the opportunity to play organized hockey at any level, we've all experienced it but until you see it for yourself you wouldn't believe it happens. While some referees believe they're bigger than the game and show up to show off, the video below shows an entirely different perspective.
As the video shows, during a break in play in which a faceoff is about to occur the referee is seen skating to the dot kicking the puck towards it. As he approaches the dot, he falls twice and is checked on by his fellow official. During the ensuing faceoff which he appears to have trouble completing, he appears to even trip a player.
