Taunton the Referee

Where where they during Deflategate?

"Taunton hockey coach allegedly shoved, bit a referee" by Evan AllenGlobe Staff  January 15, 2015

A Taunton High School assistant hockey coach who allegedly chest-bumped, shoved, and bit a referee after his team lost a game Wednesday night was apparently upset over an icing call made during the first period, according to a police report released at the coach’s arraignment in Wrentham District Court Thursday.

William C. Kenney III, 46, of Taunton, was released on personal recognizance after pleas of not guilty were entered on his behalf to charges of assault and battery and disorderly conduct. The proceeding was brief, and Kenney told the judge that he had hired a lawyer, who did not appear to be present.

The Attleboro police chief was in the stands when the fight broke out at the Foxboro Sports Center.

“I was absolutely befuddled that I was witnessing it, from start to finish. Instinctively, my law enforcement training kicked in and I assisted [a Foxborough police] lieutenant, but I was utterly embarrassed for Taunton High School,” said Chief Kyle Heagney, who is also the head coach for the Norton High School varsity hockey team and was waiting for his team to play. “I’ve never seen it in 20 years.”

Really?
