The d-man on their team threw a long pass to him and it tipped off his stick, the ball rolled to about 5 or 6 yards in front of the crease. I went to get the gb, but I got too close and wouldnt be able to pick up the ball, so I popped the kid. I didn't hit him high, just hard. He literally flew back about 4-5 yards. The ref threw a flag and ended the game. He told me If there was more time left in the game, he would have thrown me out for a "viscious hit" and since we have him as a ref a lot this year, if he sees me hit someone else in a "viscious" way, he will have be suspended for the season. Me and about half of my coaches and teammates thought it was a clean hit. Anyways, can he have me suspended for the season? Or is he full of crap?
By the rules, no. He only has the power to eject you from a game. Depending on your where you play though, the official could bring it to your league's attnetion and then they might take action. If they were to suspend you for a whole season though, chances are you'll have a chance to explain yourself and get out of it. Really takes a lot of effort to do something like that though, and he'd need some solid proof to ever get away with it.
