THAT'S GOTTA HURT... Courtesy of NHL
An NHL referee paid the price for being in the wrong place at the wrong time ... he was blasted in the balls with a puck, but thankfully, the family jewels are still intact!
The cringe-inducing moment happened during the Vancouver Canucks-Utah Hockey Club game on Sunday at the Delta Center. Official Justin Kea was on the ice, doing his job.
Unfortunately, Kea inadvertently got in the way when Hockey Club forward Alexander Kerfoot attempted to get the puck down the ice and away from Canucks' Conor Garland.
