Once in a hockey game, our Captain politely questioned an off-side call by one of the female ref. And I mean politely; there's a reason we made him Captain, he knew the rules and is very patient. He got a 5 minute penalty for it. Just by chance, th league president was in spectators. (Easy to spot, there were so few). She (the ref) also played defense on a team in that league, C Division. A real piece of work she was. I thought that would not be allowed, but women can do any dammed thing regardless of the rules in sports, and that is part of the problem.
