#UmpireAtHome explores issues facing hockey umpires right now, and through discussion, explores how to interpret the rules of hockey in a way that best serves the game.
Don’t you love some good back-and-forth banter? Even better when it involves talking umpiring with an educated and perceptive player like this!
Thomas Briels, captain of the Belgium men’s team, riffs on the perception of tackles and how some can look much worse than they are. We also have an exchange around setting standards with a terrific take-home: players want to know our standards early so then they can stay on the field. Funny that…hockey players actually wanting to play hockey rather than sit on a cold seat! So let’s help ourselves while umpiring by helping the players know what to expect from us by setting out an early stall and not waiting for “the next one”.
Check out the full version of this amazing conversation with Briels here!
