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. 

 

Stats have been updated through the end of the 2022-23 regular season. 

We’ve got new rules, new refs, promoted refs, and an updated pronunciation guide for 2023-24.

Here is the NHL’s officating roster for the 2023-24 season:
