The PWHL announced their 2024-2025 roster of officials, including the addition of Katie Guay who will serve as the Associate Director of Officiating. It remains a goal of many governing bodies, including the IIHF itself to get more women into officiating at high levels, and the PWHL has done that early with 38 women set to work as linespeople or referees next season. It represents 58% of the league's officiating roster.
One way organizations have been targeting women to join officiating, is by recruiting recent alumni of high level women's hockey programs including U Sports, ACHA, and the NCAA. Guay herself spent four seasons playing NCAA DI hockey for Brown University, including as captain in her senior season.
Of the 38 women joining the PWHL's officiating team this season, many are past players. Here's a look.
