Morning Flurries: Female Officials in Prospect Games

Four of the 96 officials at the NHL prospect tournaments were female. Kirsten Welsh Kendall Hanley served as linesmen and Katie Guay and Kelly Cooke were referees. They each had different levels of prior experience, but handled new challenges well and enjoyed their time. All are looking forward to more opportunities with the NHL.

The “Baby Avs” played three games in California earlier this week. They lost twice, but the performances were more important than the final score. Hardev has breakdowns and hi-lights from the games against the Knights, Kings, and Coyotes.

Training camp is all fun and games until you realize that some of your favorite players aren’t around and have been replaces by new faces and numbers.
