3 Controversial Hockey Umpiring Situations – #3
Situation 3: 2014 EHL Final
Once again a controversial situation that happened during the EHL Final of 2014. The Team in orange is in attack, he falls but the free hit is for the team in defense (the black team). Apparently, the attacked tripped alone and that made the defender fall down as well. A very difficult call to be made but if you follow the umpire’s head, he is looking at the body contact and the position of the players rather than focusing on the ball and therefore, he probably made the right call.
