This NHL Referee Aspires To Be A Milder Version Of Wes McCauley

Here’s NHL ref Tom Kowal with the call of Tuesday’s Blues-Predators game: “Bench minor penalty for Nashville for too many guys on the ice. They had six gentlemen, and the goaler.” Hockey nicknames are out of control.

Kowal has the authoritative but jovial personality of Wes McCauley, turned down just a bit. McCauley’s still great, of course.
