This is great. I guess I didn't realize how much the refs actively communicate with the players on the ice - not just "watch the cross-check" and "watch the interference" (as I shake my head in despair), but telling them they were going to let the puck battle keep going, or telling players why they called something.

I was amused by how many players got called by their first names.

I loved that the refs were very active about keeping players aware of the crease.

I went looking for more, and like 20 seconds into this one we already have "He's not putting his stick into you - don't put your stick into him!"

o.0 Even the refs sound like porn.

SA Though how is using a hockey stick to fuck someone not a more popular kink in this fandom?

Re: Hockey Media

Speaking for myself, it sounds incredibly painful and likely to cause injury in a way that hits too close to real life. Unlike, say, oviposition, which is not something you read people being criminally sentenced for in the paper.

Yeah, I liked the one Sid/Geno fic about it, but not enough to get over my general "ouch!" reaction.

Yeah, that's a lot of hard plastic angles. At least baseball bats are rounded!

Also really really unhygienic.

Too ouch. Also, don't you know what guys do to their sticks? All sorts of weird sawing off or sanding or using a blowtorch to do something to it.

Re: Hockey Media

I do wish there was more dirty bad wrong involving players being expected to sweeten up refs.

Re: Hockey Media

Especially with all the footage we have of refs getting handsy with players! Hugs, arms around shoulders, hands on smalls of backs and asses....!

I am still sad that a ref!Ovi/player!Nicky fic never materialized after that interview where Ovi said he wanted to be a ref if he couldn't be a hockey player. Imagine Nicky always going mean Lars when Ovi is reffing because he enjoys the attention! For ref/player interactions, I also enjoy this gif a lot.

These links and the whole discussion makes me realize I would appreciate ref/player fic, even if it wasn't an AU with ships I already ship.

It just seems like there would be a strong taboo element, which I always like. 'The guys (on the team) wouldn't like this.' Also the other refs probably wouldn't like it either. The ref struggling with the conflict of interest but having to keep the ~thing~ a secret. I think it was on Marek vs Wyshynski that I learned that a good proportion of refs were guys who weren't good enough to be players, so it's likely to have a similar dynamic in that regard to superstar/bottom 6 guys.

Man, I think I've talked myself into trying a ref/player AU. Or OMC ref ship fic haha.
