At each end of the Toyota Center sits a goal judge, who flips the switch when the Americans or their opponent scores a goal.
Turning on the red light for 20 years and hundreds of goals was Les Borms of Kennewick. Part of a friendly group of off-ice officials, Les was a no-nonsense kind of guy, but he always had a "hello" and we had many conversations about the Americans, hockey in general and other sports.
Les passed away June 8 after battling cancer, leaving the red light at the non-Zamboni end of the rink to the capable hands of another dedicated volunteer.
Les passed his love of hockey to his son Torrey and daughter Tracey, who both have done off-ice work over the years.
