P.A. hockey team disputes suspended ref’s account of game
People involved with the Prince Albert Bantam Hurricanes say they’re not getting a fair shake after a referee cancelled a game claiming fans were “out of control.”
Referee Kyle Chudyk, 29, said the officiating crew felt the Jan. 26 game was no longer safe for them after fans allegedly swore, hurled insults and threatened them.
But Jason Roode, whose son plays for the Hurricanes, told 650 CKOM Wednesday that wasn’t the case.
“I didn’t see any threatening,” he said. “There were no threatening gestures even between our fans and Hague’s fans.”
