NHL Referee Is Going Viral Over Recent Hot Mic
The notion that the best referees are the ones you don't notice is often debated, and personally, I find the real characters among the NHL officiating staff quite endearing.
Wes McCauley, Kerry Fraser, Mick McGeough, Tim Peel, and Ray Scampinello have a special place in my heart. There's something captivating when referees like McCauley go off-script on the microphone.
Tonight in Nashville, during the matchup between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Nashville Predators, NHL referee Kyle Rehma provided yet another viral moment.
Check out Rehma chirping Penguins defenseman Kris Letang, unaware that his comments are broadcast live on the hot mic for everyone to hear:
You wanna join him!? No, sir. No, I do not. I'll be a good boy, I promise!
It's moments like these that add an entertaining twist to the game, showcasing the human side of the officials on the ice.
