QUALIFIED OFFICIATING

This is probably going to be a very popular post!!! with strong opinions, both good and bad! I must say I'm so very tired of watching the OWHA/PWHL put FEMALE REfS in games they are NOT QUALIFIED to officiate! Don't get me wrong I firmly believe that there should be female refs officiating in the OW/PW.......NOT at the expense of the game, there's way too much money/time/effort put in by the players/coaches/associations to be affected by poor officiating! (there are also poor MEN officials) The game I watched today at the final four (Bluewater & Aeros) was very poorly officiated she could not keep up with the play missed several calls right in front of her cause she was out of position! She was pointing for goals from way outside the blueline, That's how far behind the play she was. Fortunatley the game was not close, so she had very little barring on the outcome! I just don't understand when it became more important to get a certain gender official over the most qualified one. Why does it seem like there is absolutley no accoutability for the officials............I watched as people from the OWHA OFFICIALS(B.H)sat and took notes! yet from what I'm told (ref supervisor) they never ever discuss the way the official calls penalties. They only discuss positioning and control, how can someone improve if there not told that they made questionable calls or that they affected the outcome of a game because they were inconsistant with the caliber of calls!!!!
PLEASE OWHA/PWHL JUST PUT THE MOST QUALIFIED OFFICIAL ON THE ICE!!!
