I’m a day or so late on this one but talk on the Steelers message board is suggesting that Michael Hicks will be returning to refereeing again this year after a leave of absence off the back of a poor start to last season.  It was through complaints of the Giants from early last season that seen Hicks given his break after he struggled to referee the zero-tolerance rules.  Granted my season ticket was close to being tossed onto the ice on a few occasions in them first few games, but I do also believe in giving someone a second chance and Michael Hicks does deserve it.  Without these referee’s after all we don’t have any hockey.  Still, hopefully now with zero-tolerance settled down and players themselves also used to it as well as the referee’s Mike Hicks can get back into refereeing without much hassle.
