Hockey is back! And with it, we start tracking the Hockey East referees anew, so welcome back for our fourth season of statistics.
Through the end of October, we’ve seen seventeen referees take the ice as a Hockey East representative. Three are new this season: Sam Heidemann, Austin O’Rourke, and Evan Reddick.
From last season, six referees have not yet made a Hockey East appearance in 2025-26: Dmitrii Antipin, Scott Hansen, Kevin McManus, Andy O’Brien, Casey Terreri, and Jason Williams.
Statistics Grid
The table includes all games through October 31st. With so few conference games being played so far, we’ll skip that table for this month and start including it with the November update as usual.
Majors and Misconducts
There’s been a significant uptick in the number of 2+10 penalties being given out this season – 13 have already been called, after only 12 were called last season. Northeastern-Holy Cross on 10/4 leads for most in a game, with six.
Meanwhile, only 4 major penalties have been called so far this season, and no more than one in a game.
