WCHA referee Oliver "Butch" Mousseaux is in critical condition after suffering a head injury during warmups before the 2nd WCHA semifinal game on Friday. Mousseaux fell and hit his head on the ice before the WCHA Final Five game between Michigan Tech and Ferris State. He was reportedly not wearing a helmet. He was transported to Mercy Health St. Mary’s Hospital in Grand Rapids, Mich.

and join the Get Better Butchy facebook group to get updates from the family.
Through my travels for college hockey I have had the pleasure to chat and have drinks with many of the refs over the years. Butch was one of the nicer guys I ever met way back when he was a linesman for many WCHA games out in Colorado. I have the utmost respect for him as a referee even though I have not always agreed with his calls. He has earned my respect and my prayers so please, take the time to check this out and say a prayer for Butch and his family and if you can afford it, give something to the cause.
