Too Much Abuse Forcing On-Ice Officials To Quit

from CBC,
The persistent abuse hurled at young hockey referees by coaches and parents is causing almost a third of New Brunswick officials to quit annually.
Glen Hurley, the head of officiating at Hockey New Brunswick, said he’s losing 400 referees and linesmen every year because of the verbal haranguing they receive.
“One of the outstanding things that I hear a lot of is the abuse that the officials take in the hockey rinks,” Hurley said.
“Especially the younger, level one and two officials, they basically just decide that it’s not for them and that’s not a way to have a part-time job.”
