Being on all three sides of this one (ref,coach and father) I think your least confrontational tack would be to go to your sons coach and ask him about it, press him a bit and REALLY stress the safety/injury angle. Try and convince the coach to take it up with the ref. That should have a better result than if you went (with the best of intentions) and spoke to the ref directly. Depending on how your sons personality is you may take him aside and offer some suggestions for some "under the breath comments" while the ref is in earshot, nothing inflammatory or derogatory, just something like "jeez what do I have to do to get a whistle" as he goes to the water bottle and the ref is getting things setup for the face off. As for the age/division thing with the other goalie, you nailed it.
