NHL referee Tim Peel was heard on a hot mic admitting he was looking to call a penalty against the Nashville Predators in the second period against the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday night.
He will no longer work NHL games, the league said.
The penalty in question came just under five minutes into the second period when Peel whistled Nashville’s Viktor Arvidsson for tripping Detroit’s Jon Merrill. It was the second penalty of the game, but the first on Nashville. Detroit was called for interference with 6:19 remaining in the opening period.
Below is the tripping penalty:

After calling the penalty, an official’s voice can be heard on the mic which was later determined to be that of Peel’s.

The NHL released a statement on Wednesday morning that Peel would no longer be working games in the league “now or in the future”. Peel was scheduled to retire after his final game on April 24.

It’s not uncommon for officials to target teams who may be complaining, and make-up calls have always been an unspoken part of sports. However, actually hearing it is saying the quiet part out loud. With legal sports betting expanding, leagues have to be proactive about handling such matters.
A study by the website FiveThiryEight.com in 2015 showed hockey referees have a tendency to be influenced by prior calls, meaning officials tend to even things out when penalties are one-sided.
The Predators won the game 2-0 as a -160 betting favorite despite being called for four penalties to Detroit’s three. Nashville killed all four power plays on the night to move to 15-17-1 on the year.
The Action Network has reached out to the NHL for additional comment. This story will be updated as more develops.

The guy is getting hosed nhl should have Him apologize and reinstate him . This the one sports where the refs have to be talented most can skate dam well and have played a lot of hockey . Unless there’s a history guy made a mistake enough sis enough with this cancel crap witch trial bs. The rates here going we will all be unemployed with the bs going on
I don't think a man should lose his job for this, maybe a suspension. Everyone knows this happens in sports, and the intent is not to fix the game but to fix a wrong within the game. Does that justify it? IDK. But I do know it's not rooted with sinister intent and it doesn't bother me.
Now if he has other issues and this is the last straw, that may be different

shouldn't lose his job for something that happens with every ref several times per week. it was a hot mic left on by some 22k/yr communications major in the broadcast truck.
the ref union needs to demand that mics be removed from all refs. nobody gets anything from "penalty, rangers #22 high sticking" when the public address announcer says it over the loudspeaker. last night i saw refs in several games putting their hands over their mic when talking to coaches and players. expect that to be the norm

He was retiring in a month anyway.
They had to fire him.
He will get his salary and legal benefits he was getting anyway, including a pension if there is one, for sure, in return, he will agree to STFU.
If they try to fuck him over he can make a fortune with a quick book and interview tour explaining it is common practice and cite examples and name names.
