| It Wasn't Just All Movember in November! |
Highlights From In and Around the Hockey World for Ultimate Officials in November 2011
* Jake Brenk is working out in the ECHL, making him the MN official working the highest level of hockey, besides Brian Mach, who is an NHL linesman (and, yes, I do put the ECHL above the WCHA).
* Cameron Voss, Kevin Cassidy continue to plug away as full time officials in the North American Hockey League.
* Speaking of NAHL and NAH3L, we had Tim Ferrel, Clayton Smith, Mike Diebold (first Jr game!), Nick Dornfeld, Nick Bradshaw, and Ryan Szymanski in action, too.
* Nick Bradshaw (USHL Games, too) also worked his first conference series in the WCHA - UAA at UMD.
* Shane Paskey worked a big series this past month for Women's WCHA - UMD at U of MN
* Nick Biondich continues to work games in the Women's WCHA.
* Mark McGinnis got hired by the Empire/AJHL and ACHA College Hockey.
* Eric Arndt got to work his first Division III Women's game.
* The Division III Season really got rolling for guys like Jamie Halverson, Adam Shadiow, Norm Gaskins, Duncan Ryhorchuk, Shane Paskey (1st ref assignment), and Nick Biondich.
* Joe Millette worked 12 junior games in the MJHL in November. That's every Fri, Sat, and Sunday! Must be doing something right, eh?
* Aaron Barlow keeps racking up ref games in the MJHL.
* Mike Diebold, in addition to his first junior game, also has been steady knocking out some Bantam A stripes.
* Clayton Smith got promoted to Bantam A referee, and has been doing a bunch of stripe games.
* I PERSONALLY HEARD WORD THAT ONE OFFICIAL (not listed here) HAS BEEN LOCKED IN FOR A PLAYOFF ASSIGNMENT IN JUNIOR HOCKEY NEXT SPRING! (I've been networking!)
* Other activity included the start of the Girls and Boys High School Seasons.
OVERALL: A SOLID MONTH, PRECEDED BY A LOT OF ADM ACTION, SURE TO BE FOLLOWED UP BY A BUSY AND REWARDING DECEMBER.
