To the officials, thank you. Thank you for your effort to ensure the game goes on. Thank you for training as hard as the athletes, to ensure the game is fair. Thank you for giving your energy and patience to the sport. Thank you for taking time to learn the rules to make the tough calls even when they don't go our way. We know poor behavior by athletes, parents and coaches can shake the foundations of love for the sport. You maintain sportsmanship and integrity of the sport. You keep the game fair and give your all. Without you, there would be no sport to play. Thank you for keeping sport alive.
To celebrate, we shared stories of 4 amazing local sports officials, including Cauy Cuthbertson, James Olson, Kailyn Smalley, and Kevin Sudo.
