The American Hockey League has posted its updated rulebook and officials for the 2023-24 season. The full lineup is below, but here are some key changes for the upcoming campaign:
New Faces, Familiar Names
You might notice some familiar names in the AHL’s officiating lineup. Working in the league this season are four officials following in their fathers’ zebra-striped footsteps. Referees Sean Kimmerly (Greg Kimmerly) and Austin O’Rourke (Dan O’Rourke) are joined by linesmen Harrison Heyer (Shane Heyer) and Riley McCauley (Wes McCauley). Referee Jackson Kozari, son of NHL referee Steve, also works in the league. They’re joined by two sons of NHL players, in referees Chris Rumble (defenseman Darren Rumble) and Carolina-Hurricane-turned-ref Brody Sutter, whose dad Duane suited up for the Islanders and Blackhawks.
