Special to Detroit Free Press
Paul Devorski was one of two referees to preside over Stanley Cup Final games between Detroit and Pittsburgh in 2008 (when the Wings won in six) and in 2009 (when the Wings lost in seven).
He also officiated some classic international games, including the bronze-medal game in the 2010 Vancouver Olympics and the gold-medal game between Sweden and Finland in the 2006 Olympics in Torino (in which Nicklas Lidstrom scored the game-winner for the Swedes).
