Jim Playfair on the cusp of meltdown

Who in their right mind would be a referee? Made a convenient scapegoat by coaches, players and fans alike, it’s a thankless task maintaining sporting order…

Take AHL referee Jamie Koharski who had to endure a glorious hissy fit from Jim Playfair this week, when the Abbostsford Heat coach went into meltdown at a decision he made during the Heat’s 4-0 defeat to the Hamilton Bulldogs.

Playfair, who didn’t heed the advice of his surname, acted like a complete and utter lunatic at the refereeing decision and proceeded to smash two hockey sticks before treating the crowd at an impromptu Hulk Hogan impression.

The clip of Playfair losing it has now attracted over 1  million hits on YouTube. In case you haven’t yet seen it, fast forward to the 2:50 mark to watch it all unfold…
