Agreed!  When there's a power play and the goalie is facing a lot of shots on net and the scorekeeper has their head down the entire time -- obvioulsy not paying attention to the game -- it's not fair to the goalie and his stats.  Personally I don't understand why we just don't use parent volunteers for this.

Hectic and crazy, I agree but I also see that some scorekeepers are just not interested.  In the particular game I was talking about, the scorekeeper had his head down for the entire two minute penalty -- what was he doing?  Couldn't have taken that long to write the penalty on the score sheet and it was only one penalty -- not hectic and not crazy.  The kids are older and they do understand the stats, so not only is "how is my team doing?" important, but so are the stats when they relate to the players -- especially since they are posted on the South Jersey website.
