B1G Officiating. Time for a change?

Re: B1G Officiating. Time for a change?

Our wonderful B1G officials are likely to be at the Frozen Four. I fully expect McInchak to be one of the refs this year, since there are no B1G teams going.
 
The ECAC for whatever reason seems to have turned over many officials over the past couple of years. I am not sure if it was a conscious decision or just a cycle of turnover. That said, adding a bunch of new officials did not change things at all. From my season ticket view at Yale, the officiating remained pretty poor, especially for the level of hockey being played. As was noted, finding good crews these days is very difficult, these men and women are all doing part time jobs with some serious travel involved. I am not sure how much they are paid, but most likely it is probably not worth the headaches, just dues you have to pay if you are serious about moving up.

And they have also turned over Head of Officials Paul Stewart this week.
