Every once in a while, you’re lucky enough to find something in your life that defines you, something that makes up a good part of the fiber of who you are, something that becomes a large part of your identity.

For me, that something has been High School Hockey, specifically being a referee for the last 20 years and the local supervisor of officials for the last 15. As many of you know, I’ve retired from both roles, and as this particular part of my life comes to a close, I hope you’ll allow me to reflect on my experiences and the people that have made me feel so blessed.
