The entire crew from Game 6 is back for the deciding game of the 2019 Stanley Cup Final.  Referees Chris Rooney and Gord Dwyer will be joined once again on the ice by linesmen Derek Amell and Scott Cherrey.  The foursome has also handled Game 2 (STL W 3-2), Game 4 (STL W 4-2), and Game 6 (BOS W 5-1) of the series.

Rooney and Dwyer also refereed Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Final between the Boston Bruins and Carolina Hurricanes (BOS W 6-2) and Game 4 of the Western Conference Final between the St. Louis Blues and San Jose Sharks (STL W 2-1).

The duo were paired up starting in the second round, handling DAL/STL Game 1 (STL W 3-2), COL/SJS Game 2, and BOS/CBJ Game 4 (BOS W 4-1).  Rooney was also paired up with Marc Joannette for DAL/STL Game 7 (STL W 2-1 2OT).

Rooney worked with referee Kyle Rehman in the opening round, covering VGK/SJS Game 1, WPG/STL Game 2 (STL W 4-3), BOS/TOR Game 3 (BOS L 2-3), COL/CGY Game 5, and WSH/CAR Game 6.  Dwyer was previously aligned with Francis Charron for CBJ/TBL Game 1, WPG/STL Game 3 (STL L 3-6), NYI/PIT Game 4, VGK/SJS Game 5, and BOS/TOR Game 6 (BOS W 4-2).

Referee Gord Dwyer is working his first Stanley Cup Final, while Chris Rooney is refereeing his fourth (2012, 2013, 2018).  This is linesman Derek Amell’s seventh Stanley Cup Final (2009, 2012, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2018), and the second for Scott Cherrey (2017).

 

Standby Official: Kelly Sutherland #11, Pierre Racicot #65
Series Supervisor: Kris King

 

The last time there was a Game 7 in the Stanley Cup Final was 2011, when the Boston Bruins defeated the Vancouver Canucks 4-0. Standby officials for that game were referee Kelly Sutherland and linesman Pierre Racicot.  The same two officials are on standby tonight, eight years later.
