Don Koharski will not be having donuts with his breakfast

Post by hhsrat » Sun Apr 12, 2009 10:59 pm

Longtime NHL Referee Don Koharski retired this week, after calling 1,719 games in the league.

Koharski may be best remembered for being part of an off-ice rant from former NJ Devils Coach Jim Schoenfeld, where Schoenfeld encouraged Koharski to "have another donut, you fat pig". (This incident also lead to a 1 day walkout on the part of the NHL referees after a court issued an injunction allowing Schoenfeld to coach the next game, despite being suspended by the league for a game)

Unconfirmed rumors are saying that Koho's retirement present from the Tampa Bay Lightning (the home team for his last game) included a Dunkin Donuts gift certificate.

I'm in for a dozen :D:

As a Bruins fan, I'm happy to see him go.

Which would mean you're fairly well versed in Lacrosse, no?

Koharski was, I believe, the longest-serving active referee in the NHL. For the past several years, he's worn #12.
