Retired NHL referee Don Van Massenhoven joins The Hockey Illuminati. Don has been dishing out law and order for a long time. He began his career as a police officer before transitioning to an NHL referee where he enjoyed a 23 year career. The game of hockey is much different through the eyes of a referee. Join us as Don shares tales from his unbelievable career such as; his favourite characters on the ice, how to demand respect from NHL superstars, why he ended up in Mark Messier's book, how a power play literally threatened his life, advice for young refs and so much more. Don's resume includes over 1300 NHL games, the 2006 Olympics, the 2004 world cup, all star games, a high speed chase, a special moment with Sidney Crosby and some of the best one liners you have ever heard! Jock and Jill also take a call from 92 year old super fan Nonna Nina who expresses her love for hockey fights. Enjoy!
