12 OHL officiating graduates skating in 2021 Stanley Cup Playoffs
A total of 12 OHL officiating graduates are working the 2021 Stanley Cup Playoffs, including a few who also played in the Ontario Hockey League.
The list of names includes three referees and nine linesmen as part of a 40-man NHL officiating roster for the first round. With cross-border travel still restricted, the NHL has had to split up their numbers and dedicate a playoff crew to solely work games in Canada.
The OHL wishes all officials the very best in their upcoming assignments.
