This season we have had CHL players Matt Burto (Texas) and Aaron Davis (Tulsa) reffing most of the games at the Nytex Sports Centre. Well now with fall upon us, and training camps up and running those players will be more scarce when it comes to wearing the zebra suit. Davis left for camp last Sunday, so the next time you will see him is when he battles the Brahmas here on November 7th at 7 pm.
This weekend and hopefully most of the rest of this season and next we will have veteran ref Scott Plourde running our games. Plourde went to UMASS just like Matt Burto (they even use to drink in the same bar). He is a Massachusetts native, and long time referee. Scott works as the Director of Sales for the Texas Brahmas during the day, and resides in Grapevine. He is the most decorated of all the refs we have had in the Bronze League, and will finally bring some credibility to the Zebra Stripes. Scott will call games tight, and not let anything get out of hand. I dont want to predict the future, but alot of this goonish BS that has been going on the past couple seasons will slow to a halt with Scott holding the whistle.
He will be reffing all four games this Saturday, so make sure and say hello and welcome him to our fraternity.

About time!!!
Looking forward to the weekend
"and will finally bring some credibility to the Zebra Stripes"?
What does that say about Matt and Aaron?
Ouch...!!!
Matt and AAron did a pretty good job of reffing. Especially taking into account they probably have little or no formal training. Remember, they come from a full-on league, so our game of "hockey" was probably pretty boring to them...
All in all, I think they did a decent job of filling in.
Oh, by the way, a guy told me a while back, never bitch at the refs unless you have been a ref.... the job isn't that easy. That's why they call it a job.
