“The PWHL is fortunate to have an experienced team of world-class officials who share our passion for growing the game and taking this league to new heights,” said Jayna Hefford, PWHL Senior Vice President of Hockey Operations. “Our officials did a tremendous job during the inaugural season, applying our innovative rule changes and allowing the players to showcase their speed and skill, while managing an elevated physical aspect of the game that promoted competitiveness without compromising player safety.”
Joining the PWHL Officiating management staff this season is Katie Guay, who will serve as Associate Director of Officiating. Guay brings more than 30 years of experience in hockey, notably serving as an Officiating Manager with the NHL for the last two seasons. Her on-ice resume is highlighted by officiating at the 2018 Olympics and becoming the first woman to referee an AHL game in 2021.
The PWHL held its first-ever Officials Camp Sept. 28-30 in Denver, CO, providing officials with a unique development opportunity to foster team building and strengthen the consistent application of the league’s standard of play. The camp had both on- and off-ice components and dedicated sessions for referees and linespeople.
