How do you address a judge in a letter thats not in a legal context at all? The guy is a director of an ice hockey board and I need to send him an email.
Thanks

Hey director guy? Hey your-corrupt-excellency?
I'd just say "Mr. XXXXXXX"
"Your Honor" is the official title given to judges.
If this is unofficial and you know his name is Ted, then that will work just fine.
I use "Dear Judge XXXX:" but if you're not a lawyer, it's not legal business and he's not a member of the board just because he's a Judge then the usual Mr. is just fine, no need for the honorific unless you're trying to butter him up.
He's the director of the ice hockey board for the e-mail.
youre most extreme exaltedness
or
your dark overlord, destroyer of hope and justice, defeater of morality and grand poobah of greed...ness
...Ive had bad experiences with judges...and also not in a legal context

Sorry, this post made me think of Judge Smalls for some reason.
Right, okay, here we go. "Darling Fascist Bullyboy, Give me some more money, you bastard. May the seed of your loin be fruitful in the belly of your woman, Neil."
Apologies as well, this made me think of britcoms.

Smails.
On a related note, this summer I caddied for a judge. 8 years of looping, and I finally get it. Took me till the 17th hole to be able to say "Your honor your honor". Greatest day of my life.
The judges I've met fall into one of two catagories:
Very caring and thoughtful .. or
Absolute nutcases.
Nothing in between.
As far as addressing them, I've always been fond of "Your Protuberance"

Yep, you're right.
Al Czervik: What're we, waiting for these guys? Hey Whitey, where's your hat?
Judge Smails: Do you mind, sir. I'm trying to tee off.
Al Czervik: I'll bet you a hundred bucks you slice it into the woods.
Judge Smails: Gambling is illegal at Bushwood sir, and I never slice.
[Swings club, slices ball into woods]
Judge Smails: Damn.
Al Czervik: OK, you can owe me.
Judge Smails: I owe you nothing.
Smells like a threadjack in here.
I think this place is restricted Wang, so don't tell 'em your Jewish, okay?
