With umpiring in the headlines for all the wrong reasons this week, it’s a good time to reflect to how this translates for us onto the hockey field.
Chris Scott and NMFC cop fines for false umpire claims
While I’m sure there are no Brad Scott’s among us, Monash Uni HC and Hockey Vic want to see an improvement in the way hockey officials are treated.
At the end of the day umpires are a rare breed, and the game can’t continue without them. There are certainly no players who go an entire game without making an error, so next time tempers flare and blood boils, try to take a breath and remember we’re all human, and we’re all there because we love hockey.
