I just came across this now and it's an important message for the #hockey community from #DaveKadun about the #bullying of young officials (often adolescents!) by parents. The examples he gives of abuse are unbelievable. How are young players and officials supposed to develop a love for the game when this is what they are exposed to? Caption of video below in replies.

  David Kadun on Instagram: "🚨 Hockey Parents & Coaches: We Need to Talk. This needs to be said. Young officials are skating off the ice in tears. They’re being yelled at, disrespected, and broken down—by you. These kids are giving their time and effort to officiate the game we all love, but the way they’re treated is driving them away. Without officials, there’s no game. Coaches, parents—we need to do better. The future of hockey depends on us showing respect, patience, and encouragement. Let’s teach our kids the right way to handle adversity, both on and off the ice. It’s time to be the example our game—and our kids—deserve. #RespectTheRefs #HockeyCommunity #BetterTogether #HockeyParents #HockeyCoaches"

  I don't think 12 or 13-year-old referees should have to learn to tough it out when it's parents from their school or community publicly abusing them like this @FlashMobOfOne @hockey
