Whistle Counter
Are there too many whistles in hockey? Fans that don't know the rules certainly think so. UmpireHockey.com has created a form to collect data on the number of times each umpire blows their whistle and at what point during the game. Analysis of submitted forms could provide interesting information for trend reporting.
