What you folks do here in the Boston Bruins hey welcome back to Bruins Academy hope you’re having fun watching this episode of Bruins Academy listen I’m not much of a rule follower however when you play hockey there’s rules and you got to listen to the rules otherwise you’re going to go in the Penalty Box up
Next on VA we’re going to talk to the guys in the zebra outfits that’s right the referees two minutes for being a bad Host after reviewing the play the call on the ice stands we got a goal communication is huge for the for officials to the players you have to be able to talk to them and you got to talk to them all game long keep them focused on hockey
They are going to be 100% great okay yep okay as long as they’re right before a recent Bruins game several aspiring young referees got the opportunity to meet an officiating crew and find out what it really takes to wear the stripes in the NHL I played hockey pretty much
All my life my dad got me into ring it’s been like your favorite part of like the grind and just like getting through it at the at the lower levels I started at 15 and I had to start with the little ones and you get through every level
It’s not easy to get to this point let’s go let’s go I started 11 years old doing the little kids on Saturday mornings and work my way up you got to put in the time and you have to make yourself available I mean it’s not going to come
Easy and yeah when those calls come in they’re they pretty exciting times for sure are there still like rules you like don’t know like you have to learn every single rule in the you don’t know your rules you know you’re in the wrong position kind of need to know though be
A legal fashion that’s not a legal fashion it was pretty cool uh motivating 47 for Boston both guys 5 minutes each for fighting never turn a game down if you can do it you never know who might be there watching working the games is a fun part it’s obviously work too but you
Know it’s not hard to get up for games like this going to be part of it was determined that the puck completely crossed the co line we have [Applause] A w overall I think the NHL referees do a bang bang job however my personal opinion let’s get rid of the replay rule shall we up next on ba we’re going around the NHL with Colton Sistens hey guys this is Colton sistens of the Nashville Predators thank you for having me on Bruins Academy Colton sistens who played a little street hockey there he scores Colton siss I grew up in North Vancouver BC Canada obviously growing up in Canada hockey
