League admits error in Glass incident

[Scout]

The Western Hockey League office conceded that referee Ryan Thompson erred when he assessed Glass just a roughing minor as a result of an ugly encounter with the Swift Current Bronco's last Firday.

" It was a combination of a lot of things but definitely there been a bit of past history" Glass told the Kootney News Advisor. " When there's a few things that should've been taken care of on the ice that weren't, stuff can happen on the ice and emotions overflowed a bit."

" I was surprised that i didn't get a few more penalty minutes," said Glass, " but that was the way the ref saw it and i got back in the nets."

The way the ref saw it was wrong, said the WHL's chief disciplinarian Richard Doerkson.
" There were certainly some other calls that should have been assessed on that situation, yes."

Well at least the league has admitted it's mistake. :burningma
