Not “could”. “Will”. The preliminary budget is already approved so it can’t increase. @MinotParks delivering for the taxpayer after the voters directed us to do exactly that.

Long-time #NCHChockey linesman Nate Stanton was recognized after working his final game for us Saturday night at @BaxterArena. He's been officiating lines in Omaha since we began play in 2013. @Commish_Weems presented Nate with artwork from his time with the NCHC as a thank you for 12 years of officiating service! 👏🦓 📸: Bonnie Ryan (1st 3) & @bradwphoto

Interesting take on video review and thoughts on how it should be utilized with clear and obvious v. frame by frame breakdown of something that might not be there. #FunDiscussion – at Denver, CO
“We’re micromanaging the game…that’s the problem.” Rebecca Lowe, Tim Howard and Robbie Mustoe discuss the extent of VAR’s impact on the game. #MyPLMorning

Just because you're offended doesn't mean you're right. Being offended is a choice and should be chosen wisely.

Ask a ref how much they enjoy reviewing so many things—not so much. Reviews have taken over all sports. Bring back human error, trust in a call. Force teams to challenge and take it out of the refs hands….Bring back vcr tapes 🤔

This is from a 15-year-old hockey official and a U10 game! This is why our recruiting numbers are so low and will eventually impact the number of games played without officials. – at New York, USA

Boulder Officer has lost his life running towards the gunfire of an active shooter. No words can adequately capture the heroism exhibited. Keep him in your prayers. Police Officers don’t “deserve”your respect,because no one “deserves” anything, but we damn sure earn it everyday!
