Paul Stewart: Don't Fear the Heat of Battle... But Keep Control

I feel like I have so much more respect for the on-ice officials since I've been reading these articles. What a great service these are.

Thanks for your insightful posts Paul. I grew up in the 80s so I always appreciate your stories about teams and players. I have a question to ask you. Do you believe that officials can become affected more today with all the scrutiny and the negativity due to the increased media? I know in my job if I had thousands of people calling me an idiot and hearing each day how I'm terrible at my job, it would certainly affect me. Are some officials better at handling the pressure than others? Keep up the great work Paul. It's appreciated.
