Movember Charity Hockey Game

Playing for a Good Cause (and FUN!)

On November 15, 2010, a group of hockey refs played their monthly pick up hockey game, but this time they donated money for the Ultimate Officials' Movember cause.  The game was played in honor of Paul Moen, who is a long time hockey referee and coach in South St. Paul, MN.  Paul is a recent cancer survivor.

Team White won the game 16-11 over Team Black.  The game, as always, was a BLAST!

This guy was featured in the newsletter, too:

And there was a whole lot of discussion, advice, insider tips, and training for hockey referees.  As an educator, I find examples of inspiration/motivation all over the place.  I share all of these bits of training in the monthly newsletters, articles, and videos with UO members. There was a lot of talk about the first step towards championship referee success.

I encourage you join our group.  It's only $0.99 to join.  You may be wondering, "if this is so damn good, why so cheap?"  Join and find out.  You may be wondering, "if it's so damn good, what's in it for me?"  Here's what's in it for you:
