Tim Peel Weighs In
This event did not go unnoticed by Tim Peel, a former NHL referee known for his own controversies, including a dismissal for manipulating game calls.
Peel, now a frequent social media commentator, critiqued Edwards' outburst, hinting at deeper issues possibly affecting Edwards' judgment. Peel expressed his thoughts via his X account:
"I think Jack Edwards may be having some health issues and I sympathize with that. But calling Referee #40 Steve Kozari a coward is despicable. Kozari was carried off on a stretcher 3 weeks ago in Pittsburg in a collision with Hayden Fleury of #GoBolts Last year he fat shamed Pat Maroon. Very sad Jack!"
