  3. Maybe not an umpire, but a referee, certainly.

    In fact, I was an improv referee for 20 years, most of which were during the time when the tradition was to throw things at the ref when you weren't happy with a decision. Granted, there have been a lot of nerf balls over the years, but I'm old enough to remember when it was the kind of rubbers you'd put over your shoes in the rain - whatever those are called in English - and we once had to take a ref to the hospital after he got one in the head and flipped over the side of the rink.

    (If this all sounds insane to you, imagine theater games with the trappings of hockey, and you'll get an idea of what improv matches look like in French Canada.)
