BREAKING: Official Who Mistreated a Toronto Maple Leaf Last Season Receives a Promotion
Last season, Michael Bunting was involved in an incident with a referee. During an altercation on the ice, Bunting was ejected and the ref shoved him out of the ice.
Here's the video:
Linesman Kelly Who Shoved Bunting Gets Promoted by the NHL
Dan Kelly, the official that pushed Bunting out of the ice, has been promoted by the NHL to the full-time status. Interestingly enough, Kelly was also playing against Bunting in the AHL.
"Congrats to NHL linesman Dan Kelly - one of three NHL officials promoted to full-time status for the upcoming season"
"The guy who played against Michael Bunting in the AHL and pushed him down the tunnel as a linesman last season."
Let's hope that he'll get better at his job now that he's doing it full-time...
