Last year, I had the sudden opportunity to grab a couple photos of NHL referee Bill McCreary under Verizon Center. My daughter was strapped in and about to go for a ride on the Olympia (“Olympia” just doesn’t have the same ring as Zamboni) during the first intermission of the game between the New York Rangers and Washington Capitals. I heard someone yelling, turned around and McCreary was describing ice conditions and relaying player complaints to the Olympia operator and spoke briefly with Comcast Sport Net personality Alan May.

no images were found

I thought, “Hey! That’s Bill McCreary!” and then thought, “I have a camera.” Only two photos and they’re not really good, but I have them.  Thought I’d post them in honor of McCreary refereeing his final NHL regular season game tonight which will also be at Verizon Center in Washington, DC.
