Introducing Standout Stripes: Celebrating Referees Who Go Above and Beyond

We are excited to launch a brand new column here at Ref's Crease--Standout Stripes! This column is dedicated to shining a spotlight on the officials who are making a lasting impact in the world of hockey—both on and off the ice. 
These incredible officials are more than just rule enforcers; they are dedicated individuals whose hard work, passion, and commitment contribute to the integrity and excitement of the game. 
In the coming weeks, we'll share the stories of these outstanding individuals, celebrating their dedication and unique contributions to the sport. We believe it's time to give these officials the recognition they truly deserve.
Do you know a referee who deserves to be highlighted in our Standout Stripes column? We want to hear from you! Nominate a referee who’s going above and beyond, and let’s make sure their hard work doesn’t go unnoticed.
Stay tuned for more, and get ready to cheer on the people who help make the game of hockey that we love even better.
