My grandson is a ref/linesman and he received a text from Hockey Canada this week that advised him that if he refs a BCHL game or tryout scrimmage or exhibition game after June 30, he'll be suspended from working any Hockey Canada games for the rest of the 2023-24 season.
The BCHL, which announced this week that it is leaving Hockey Canada at the end of this month, met with on-ice officials via Zoom on Thursday night. As someone who was on the call told Taking Note: “It seems that it’s a real pissing match. The BCHL is very disappointed that Hockey Canada won’t allow its officials to work in Hockey Canada leagues after Sept. 30. . . . Insurance will not be an issue as the BCHL will have their own that they claim will be as good as or better than Hockey Canada’s. . . . Not sure about the refs, but linespeople will be getting $150/game, up from $80.” . . . You can bet that we’ll be hearing more, a whole lot more, about all of this in the days and weeks to come. Yes, it’s going to be an interesting ride. . . .

Seems like Hockey Canada is blackmailing someone!
Those kind of tactics from Hockey Canada sounds like they are using MOB strategy!
