Rules Schmules, Who Needs ’Em!

From the Kingston Whig-Standard yesterday, Frontenacs won’t pursue protest:

Kingston Frontenacs have decided not to protest Friday’s loss to London and that team’s use of ineligible player Dan Fritsche.

Fritsche, who was not listed on Friday’s game sheet, tallied once and assisted on another goal in the opening period even though the omission was brought to the attention of referees Ryan O’Neill and Rob Palm.

The two officials permitted Fritsche to remain in the game but disqualified him after further consultation in the first intermission.

“It’s not going anywhere,” Hulton said of the would-be protest.

“We were more or less told it’s a referee’s call, and though they didn’t get it right initially, they did straighten things out eventually.”

Too bad. StatsGuy and I didn’t think that the OHL would do anything about this.
