It's rare that an NHL linesman or referee gets praise from players, particularly in the heat of the moment. So, imagine the scene at last night's Chicago Blackhawks-Washington Capitals game, in which the officials wore number 47 in honor of Dan Schachte, who was working this game. This game marks a coming full circle moment for Schachte, as he officiated his first NHL game in 1982 at Chicago Stadium, and last night, he officiated his last game in the United Center. After the Blackhawks won 4-2, players from both sides gave their congratulations to Schachte with handshakes. Class move on both sides, and we at Pucks and Rocks would like to wish Schachte a happy retirement.
