Tim Roth began his USA Bandy Hall of Fame career as a player in the USA 1981-1982 season. After that first year he co-founded the DIJ Bandy Club and played for them through the 1995-96 seasons. In 1984, Tim was co-founder and leader of the Minnesota Bandy Federation. In 1990 he founded and coached the first US indoor youth Bandy team, “The Millers”, while also sending his son, Brian, to summer Bandy camp in Vasteras, Sweden. In 1992, Tim formed a second youth team, “Miller Lite”. The players on these two teams continued playing Bandy with many becoming the core of the Bandolier Championship teams of the 2000’s and several skating for the US National Team. In 1991, at the urging of Tom Howard, Tim began reffing both indoor and outdoor Bandy games. In the subsequent 25 years tim has reffed over 1600 Bandy matches as well as virtually every indoor and outdoor North American Bandy Cup game. He has always reffed under the most important concept for Bandy, “It is a gentleman’s game”. Tim has been a major part of the history and growth of US Bandy and is our most accomplished and respected referee ever. He is definitely a Hall of Famer.
