"It is pretty common for referees at all levels of hockey, from the beginners to the NHL, to give hand signals when doling out penalties. But the practice that was started back in the 1930s by Bill Chadwick came about purely by accident."

"Being an American and all of the referees are Canadian, they were like dead fish. You never noticed the referee, but they noticed me and they had to notice me because I made my presence known."
-Bill Chadwick
Well he is the inventor of using hand signals in the NHL to call penalties.
