Referees Chris Rooney and Jean Hebert are working together for the first time this postseason.
Chris Rooney worked the opening round with Peter MacDougall, officiating VGK/DAL Game 2, EDM/LAK Game 3 (EDM W 6-1), and WPG/COL Game 4. He also skated with referee Dan O’Rourke for BOS/TOR Game 6.
He was paired up with ref Graham Skilliter in Round 2, working BOS/FLA Game 1, NYR/CAR Game 3, VAN/EDM Game 3 (VAN W 4-3), and DAL/COL Game 6.
The Canucks are 10-0-1 over the past three regular seasons and 1-0 this postseason under referee Chris Rooney.
Jean Hebert is working back-to-backs, having just worked Game 6 in Edmonton. He worked with ref Garrett Rank – who’s on standby tonight – throughout the playoffs, working NYI/CAR Game 1, TOR/BOS Game 2, FLA/TBL Game 4, VGK/DAL Game 5, and VAN/NSH Game 6 (VAN W 1-0, series clincher) in the opening round. They’ve also officiated BOS/FLA Game 2, NYR/CAR Game 4, COL/DAL Game 5, and VAN/EDM Game 6 (EDM W 5-1) in Round 2

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.
