Lloyd Freeberg

So named because it is the author, not the players, who are in the penalty box (a/k/a "the sin bin"), this is a collection of basically anecdotal stories. Freeberg is an off-ice official for the Anaheim Ducks and his stories stem from that experience. Many deal with his time as the "attendant" of the visitors penalty box, others as a goal judge, including during Stanley Cup playoff games (the NHL requires goal judges in playoff games be from teams not playing in the game). But it is little more than a collection of anecdotes, several of which consume more space telling us about the background of the player(s) involved then the actual incidents or events.
