Doug Weales: Trying t 1o be referee m and friend By MIKE JOHNSTON A nmne-year-oid hockey player ýstepped onto the ice at the Brookliarena with dry mustard on the side of bis lip. The referee, seeing this, skated up to the player and asked hini if he had just had supper. " 6Yes," said the boy. «'If I don't est before a game,"t said the referee, "I get very mean."ý The player, his eyes riveted on the referee, listened closely to bis every word, then repiied: "Do you want my coach to get you a hot dog?" Those are the types of stories Doug Weales enjoys telling about Brookiin-Whitby Minor Hockey. Weales has been the referee.-iIi- chief for the BWMH association for the past eigbt years . He is also the fourtb vice-president. One of Weales' major duties in- voves training new referees. There are currently 26 referees in the BWMHA, tbree of thein age 13 and one 12. Weaies points out that these four only bande games at the Brooklin arena where the squirts (age 5) to atomTs (age 11) play. The peewees (age 13) to juveniles (age 20) play at Iroquois Park. Weales bad been opposed to baving referees under the age of 14 up until this year because hie felt they could flot handle ail the extras that go with the job. "If a parent were to lean over the boards and rip into a young referee hie could break down and hie would neyer be able to make it back, " said Weales. But hie says the four have done a good job handling the pressure. Five years ago, Gil Nieuweri- dyk, a member of the Brookiin Redmen lacrosse team, started out as a referee for the BWMHA. Today he is a referee with the Ontario Major Junior Hockey League. "One day I was kidding with Mim and told bum he bas broken the rules enough times, now it's tume to enforce theni," says Weaie. Weales also has a suggestion for referees who face harassmelit from parents - ignore them. "In the last five years we have iost five or six good OMHA of- ficiais because of parent harassment," said Weales. He says a lot of jeering goes on because parents don't under- stand a lot of the rules. That is wvhy he wouid like to see a card handed to each parent as they enter an arena witb one rule on it. Then the rules could be One rule he says 70 per cent of the parents don't understand is cbecking from behind. "4A penalty," says Weales. "But if a Ikid knows he's going to get bit, and he turnss Ms back to the checker,- that is not ,Anotherarea of mior dhocke some parents don't understandi hat her e eonlytwo officiaIs andl ngter game.ý "ýTwo,. guys can -do the job," SEE PAGE 19 Blarnmebrawl on refs As far as Doug Weales is concerned, the refpree must take the biame for the brawl between the Canadiari and Soviet junior hockey players in Prague, Czechoslovakla. Both teains were ejected from the competitiofi foilowing the brawl, taking a sure sîlver medal away froni the Canadian team. "lHow can the best hockey players perforni their best with siipsbod refereeing,"I said Weales, wbo for the past eight years has been referee-in-hief for Brooklin-Whitby minor hockey. 1"It is *the referee's fault, you can't let that stuff go," he said, referriflg to a nuniber of cails the reféree didn't make eariier in the game. "I don't biame our players at ail." He says reports that both teams will be tbrown out of the next inter- national competition is ludicrous . "The next one is i Leningrad. There is no way the Soviets wiil be thrown out," said Weales. But while be believes the referee is to biame, Weaies also believes the Soviet players provoked the brawl. d'if you're in sixth place and you have to stop your archrivals, start a brawl." As for thle fight itself , Wesies bas neyer seen anytbing like it.
