It's tough being a hockey referee...

Little video montage of hockey on-ice officials falling down and putting up with all sorts of crap that's part of their job. But mostly falling down because we all enjoy that.

Special appearance by the late and great Bill Chadwick (RIP).

Who is the ref that sits himself in the penalty box at the Flyers game, and when did it happen?

[jenthesuperone]

@SuchaRicky That is Bill Chadwick at an exhibition game in the 1970s. Don't know the exact date, though, sorry!
