Chris Woodworth, General Manager of Bill Grays Regional Iceplex, will be heading to Russia this weekend for the Olympic Games! ... If everything had fallen into place the way Chris Woodworth envisioned when he was a young boy growing up in Canandaigua, hed be an NHL star getting ready to play on the United States team in the upcoming Winter Olympics. After all, I dont think anybody grows up wanting to be an official, its just something thats in your chemical makeup, I think, Woodworth said with a smile. And once you get your foot in the door, it becomes part of you, but I do think you have to have a screw loose in your head in order to want to be an official. Be that as it may, the 33-year-old Woodworth knew by the time he was 13, that a playing career in pro hockey was out of the question, so he turned to officiating. Because he has become one of the best in the country, hell be journeying to Sochi, Russia this week to serve as a linesman in the Olympic tournament. This is nice because it validates that youre a solid official, youre world class, and a lot of hard work went into getting to this point, so its very special, Woodworth said.
