My son was playing in a Mite league game last week and he made a save in the crease. He trapped the puck in his glove and held it down to the ice. He held it for a good 3 seconds before an opposing player managed to slap it out of his glove. He was now laying prone on the ice and was able to block the puck from going into the net. Once again he trapped it in his glove. After another 3 seconds it was batted free when the opposing player managed to pry it out of his glove and poke it into the net. I don't understand why the ref wouldn't blow the whistle. Strangely enough, at the other end the goalie was diving on every puck that came his way and was getting whistles to stop the play on every one, and most times there were no opposing players near him. On one whistle no opposing players were even past his blue line. The topper of course was when the ref stopped the play because one of the other teams players was skating towards his own goal by mistake (the periods had just changed). My question is what should a goalie do in a situation like this? Is there anything he can say to the ref to get him to snap out of it. Does he need to hold the puck in the air the way Patrick Roy was doing in last years playoffs to get a whistle? In this case even the other teams parents were embarressed. However they did enjoy retaining first place status in the division. To add insult to injury we found out later that the opposing goalie was our own Peewee C goalie moonlighting for the other town and playing two age divisions down. I guess %#*! happens.
