On January 15th, 1983, a very strange occurrence happened in NHL history.A blizzard prevented referee Ron Fournier and linesman Dan Marouelli from arriving in time for a game between the New York Islanders and Hartford Whalers.
To deal with the situation linesman Ron Foyt was named as the game's referee, while scratched players Garry Howatt of the Islanders and Mickey Volcan of the Whalers served as linesmen!
Fournier and Marouelli arrived in time to start the second period of play.
