Stats/Numbers: ’24-25 avg. (’24-25 rank) | ’23-24 avg. (’23-24 rank)

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 referee stats, new rules, new refs, promoted officials, and an updated pronunciation guide for 2024-25.
