whats ur feedback on it if u do. i play for the tmobile and the refs kicked basically all our good players out today. they are terrible! does anyone else play there?
play wat?
i used to, they kept jacking the price up, the owner is a douche, and most of the refs suck
Yea, I have to agree. I started playing there again this season because 3 of my 4 bothers -in- law are on a team and asked me to.
I am not one to complain about referees, but they used to be F’N HORRIBLE. Mike (owner) used to be a banker… has no love for sports and is only out for money. Also they have the rule where if you get more than 3 penalties (could even be on the same play) you get booted, and have to pay some stupid fee to come back.
I missed the game last night, cause it was at frekin 10pm.
epic center sucks and so do their indoor go-karts
btw for the people who are confused, i’m 99% sure he’s talking about roller hockey there
I am playing Tuesdays. It isn’t that bad. I know a couple of the refs from the cheektowaga league I play in as well. But yea there are 1-2 that really suck ass, and have cost us games.
I actually just took my first penalty ever at epic this past week, and it was only because a guy lifted my stick into his teammates face. Oh welllllll
yeah my buddy threw a fit when he got a penalty and they gave him a 2 and 10. they then let him finish playing the game. (meaning he never got kicked out) we found out after the game that he might be kicked out for a game and have to pay a fine. how the hell do you kick someone out for the next game if you werent even kicked out for the game you got the suspension for? and then charge someone 50 bucks. i can understand if they tossed him then suspended him for the next game and pay ( if they have to be that grimmy in the first place) but fuck. he didnt even get kicked out in the first place
what ever happened to people using USAinline hockey rules
I only do Skate and shoots at epic… dunnno if ill ever play again there…
Trying to rehab my knee still
i went to a semester of reffing school and these guys dont know know the diference between and hook or a trip call they just throw there hands up and hope it makes some kind of sign.
i was a ref for 3 years. its funny listening to them and having an argument with the ref when they make a bad call, or say something completely retarded. i always make them come out sounding like an idiot.
I agree the refs at Epic are terrible. I remember on one occasion someone took a shot at our net, the puck hit the top half of the crossbar and bounced back in an upward motion. The one ref that was closest called it a goal saying that it hit the back bar. Super terrible refs.
I play there on Sundays and Tuesdays. The 3 penalty rule is dumb. Especially when its like 2 hooking calls and then an accidental trip or something. I can understand if they are all cross checking or roughing calls, but come on!!
Kicking people out for fighting was put into play a couple years ago for a certain player that joined the league just to get into fights. The guy would fight, sit out his week and pay to play again. He would repeat this process over and over. He had money and used the league as his personal stress relief (which just so happened to be punching people in the face.)
It was a joke. I think they finally banned him for life, but they kept the rule.
I play flag football there…
The reffs also suck!
I only have a problem with one ref. Playoffs last session, he actually went to each bench, and asked a random question, and expected an answer. When we asked why, he said if you got it right, he’d call a penalty on the other team…Yeah…in the playoffs…
how about my phantom penalties? haha the highsticking one that kicked me out of the game no less… that one takes the cake
no comment
i play on tuesdays and sundays. Fuck the refs. Its all highschool kids that work there, and mostly highschool kids on the teams… I got screwed into paying that BS $50 suspension fine due to this, timekeeper came up with a bs story to get me and nobody else suspended. Eh, if it were up to me, my teams would be somewhere else.
i try to actually fight the refs thats how bad they are
