Charlesbois got into refereeing when he was playing hockey one night and he was asked to fill in.
“I got hooked,” said Charlesbois, who now prefers refereeing over playing.
He says he has never experienced any issues with local players or parents, however out of town teams and parents who believe their “kid” is the next NHL star are always a challenge.
“City teams are the worst,” Charlesbois says with a smile.
Having reached this milestone, Charlesbois is looking forward to continuing his important role in minor hockey.
“[It’d] be nice to hit 1000,” he says confidently.
