Minor Hockey Talks - Hockey Forum

Was that a game-winning goal or a game-losing penalty? The Greyhounds and Battalion game ended in controversy, leaving fans and coaches debating a late-game major penalty. Do you think the hit by Brady Martin warranted a major for interference? Or was it a clean, physical play that was unfairly penalized due to the resulting injury? Where do you draw the line between physical hockey and dangerous play in today's OHL? The coach's frustration with the officiating also raises some interesting questions. Is it ever acceptable for a coach to publicly criticize the referees? Does this put undue pressure on officials, or is it a coach's duty to stand up for his players? This game could be a turning point in the season for both teams. Will the Greyhounds be able to bounce back from this tough loss, or will this controversial call linger in their minds? Can the Battalion use this win as momentum, or was it a fluke victory? Weigh in with your thoughts! This is a discussion every minor hockey parent and player should be a part of.
