Officiating not up to standard, but passable

The refereeing of Friday's Junior C play-off game between Dundas Blues and Grimsby Peach Kings did not meet the standard set in the series' previous two games but was passable, according to an Ontario Hockey Association director who was at the game and consulted by association president Brent Ladds today.

Mr. Ladds told the Dundas Star News concerns about officiating in Friday's game, which included 74 penalty minutes for the Dundas Blues compared to 14 minutes for Grimsby, and a series-high 20 powerplays for Grimsby compared to Dundas' six powerplays, will be forwarded to the OHA's referee-in-chief and he will review it directly with the game referee.
