Video: You make the call

[Guest]

Reply to Reply #7. Wrong answer. I was at the game. The goalie got a 5 and a game. But you are right, the referee was 5 feet away and didn't call the skater for running into the goalie. Nor did they call any of the numerous hacks to his hand when he covered the puck which whistle or not are supposed to be called a slash.
Watching a 20 second video doesn't tell the story. I don't condone the stick to the head by the goalie. I will say this was built up over the course of the game. The goalie is a High School Junior with no record of taking penalties.
The skater did take a chop to the head and went down like he was shot. Stayed down drawling the major penalty. OK, you see Crosby do it all the time. The skater didn't miss a shift.
Was it a major? Oh yeah. Was the player injured? No.

For the record I'm not related to the goalie nor am I a coach, player or parent on either team.

Bullshit. You just share personal information about the goalie and say you were there and saw everything happening to the goalie but your not a coach, player or parent.

Ok goalie dad

The skater didn't touch the goalie. The goalies stick follow through hit the skater as he tried to block the clear against the boards, he went around the goalie as he's supposed to. The goalie swung at the skater viciously and he was given a high sticking major which is an automatic game ejection and 1 game suspension. There was only 7 mins left in the game and his team was losing. The league did nothing after the fact.

As a parent, I would call it "assault with deadly weapon" . I would have a police report filed, and then call my lawyer

I love when people jump to the "file a report and call your lawyer".  Unreal.  Calm yourself down mommy, this goalie has probably played his last HS game and you what him charged and locked up, of course.

He'll actually be starting this Friday night vs North Penn. He already sat his 1 game suspension.

I'd guess something happened earlier in the game for a goalie to react this way.  Given you know how much time was left and the follow up on the penalty you probably know for sure.  Leaving that out of your story on purpose?

We post every SHSHL game replay in its entirety and box score for anybody to review at their convenience. Nothing was left out of the post for any reason, the OP is self exclamatory.

That is factually incorrect. USAH penalty options for a High Stick are 2 min minor, 5 min major or 5 min major and game misc.
Call should have been for head contact. That would be a 2 min minor +10 misc or 5min major +game misc.

The box score has the penalty listed as a high stick major - A major in High School is the same as a major in club. The player is thrown out and given an automatic 1 game suspension for the next game.

That is not correct. The referees have a choice. A high stick penalty in USAH is 2 min minor, 5 min major or 5 min major and game misc.
