Mr. Robinson para. 122 I am not prepared to find beyond a reasonable doubt that Mr. Robinson was on the ice as it was not logical that three Tiger-Cats defencemen would be on the ice in the last minute of the game when the Tiger-Cats were down by two goals. The trial judge takes judicial notice of hockey strategy and uses it as her rationale for dismissing the testimony of Mr. Robinson. The belief that he would not be on the ice at this point in the game is wholly speculation. It also goes against
