L’Ecuyer might be thinking “I’m not even supposed to be here today.” He’s one of the standby officials for Round 2, but will be getting the start tonight.
Stats have been updated through the end of the 2023-24 regular season.

Number in orange/parentheses indicated referee’s rank among active officials.
* Penalty Differential represents the absolute value of the variance of penalty calls by team per game. If Team A takes two more penalties (or two fewer) than Team B, this is a 2. Lower numbers indicate less variance between total penalties in a game – that is, a closer number of calls for both teams.
We’ve got new rules, new refs, promoted refs, and an updated pronunciation guide for 2023-24.
