Controversy in CCHA; BG Uses Ineligible Player in Shootout

Bowling Green got a shootout 4-3 victory over Nebraska-Omaha last night, but that decision is under review by the league after it was determined that Bowling Green used an ineligible player in the shootout. 

Bowling Green's Jordan Sameuls-Thomas scored a goal in the shootout, but shouldn't have been allowed to shoot in the first place, because he was still serving a penalty when time expired in OT. According to NCAA rules, a player serving a penalty when OT ends is ineligible to participate in the shootout.

After a lengthy review, the officials in the game decided to call the game a 3-3 tie and make a final decision on what to do sometime today. Nebraska-Omaha has suggested the shootout be redone prior to the start of tonight's game.

 

Update: Bowling Green gets the win. I guess that makes sense. It was the referee's mistake for letting Samuels-Thomas shoot. It's really no different than an official blowing a call at any other juncture of the game.

Ah.....

HockeyJoe-

Actually, shootouts have nothing to do with it. Merely coincidence. I’d file this one under “Why officials are reviled and not trusted.”

Seriously, I know the rules, but… shouldn’t they know the rules better than the average fan? If they did, how could this stand?

That’s ok. It warms my heart to know that the WCHA isn’t the only DI league that has incompetent officials.
