I added more proof (my license).

I don't really know how much more proof I can give you without revealing my identity. Plus there aren't really any pictures from games with refs in them.

When do you think the NHL will allow female referees?

I don't think they will any time soon. But I'd love to see them one day! Also, support your girl in what she's doing, she can make it far, starting at such a young age.

Whats it like to be female?

Aside from periods, pretty good.

This is a serious question - why does it matter that you're a female ice hockey referee?

As a female you can't officiate some leagues, especially senior men. It also makes my experience a little different as there are not many female refs in ice hockey.

Can we have a bit more proof? That could just be any old striped top. Feel free to pm it to me
