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.
