NHL Reconsiders Referee Safety After Rooney Injury

Imagine a hockey game where the referee, like a judge, makes sure everyone follows the rules.

During a game, one of the referees, Chris Rooney, accidentally got hit in the face with a hockey stick.

This caused the game to pause while he got help.

Because of this, people are now discussing how to make sure referees are safe when they are on the ice.

This means looking at things like better equipment so they do not get hurt so easily.
