NHL Promotes Linesman Kelly After Incident with Bunting
The NHL has recently promoted Dan Kelly, the referee that pushed Bunting, to full-time status.
"Congrats to NHL linesman Dan Kelly - one of three NHL officials promoted to full-time status for the upcoming season"
"The guy who played against Michael Bunting in the AHL and pushed him down the tunnel as a linesman last season."
Hopefully, with his new full-time role, he'll get better at his job...
