The PWHL trimmed its officiating roster for the 2026-27 season, going from 59 officials down to 42 – 21 referees and 21 linespersons – as part of a league strategy to give each official more games and deliver greater consistency across the 180-game schedule. Five officials are new to the league, 22 are not back, and linesperson Anthony Lapointe graduated to the NHL.
