HAHAH I WAS WAITING FOR THIS!!! In response, I'll give my best heckle that I ever received.

I was 18 and doing a game once and a parent yelled an incorrect rule. So I turned around and corrected him by stating the correct rule. (You should never do that but I was pissed). He then said..."Ah go back home and clean your room, kid!" hahahah I laughed so hard I had trouble skating the rest of the game.

Colorado Avalanche and Detroit Red Wings.

I had a 17 year old come off the bench at the end of a stoppage of play and hit an opponent in the helmet with his stick 5 times. I got cut on my face trying to grab his stick on the follow through of one of his swings. Both benches cleared and the police were called. He received a life-time ban from USA hockey and Ohio high school hockey. There was also a fight in the stands between his father (apple doesnt fall far from the tree) and the parents of the other team.

Depends on the age level. 14-18 kids, never. With 8-12, maybe. If the game is 7-0 I'll call a couple ticky-tack ones on the team that's winning by a lot. It helps to slow the game down and not let emotions get out of hand. Usually the losing team will start doing really dumb stuff and possibly go after opposing players.

To add to this, in general you should never make a make-up call if you're a new official. It takes a lot of experience to know when the right time is and what situation to make the call.
