This is the best summary I could come up with:

Delphine Nault says she was on the verge of tears while refereeing her first U12 soccer game last summer in Windsor, Que.

But she's hopeful next season will be different due to a pilot project in the town of about 5,000 which will grant some referees access to body cameras in an attempt to curb verbal abuse they experience on the job.

Martin Tremblay, president of the Minor Soccer Association of Windsor — which is behind the project — says the abuse is scaring people away from the profession.

Tremblay pushed forward with the idea in 2022, after an incident during a game that ended up before a disciplinary inquiry.

Hockey Quebec might follow in Windsor's footsteps as they are struggling to keep officials longer-term, says Stéphane Auger.

A former referee with the NHL, he's now the director of officiating, player safety and rules and regulations at Hockey Quebec.
