Updated stats — including team records — on the way… 

     
Games: PS (Preseason); RS (Regular Season); PO (Playoffs) 

Number in orange/parentheses indicated referee’s rank among active officials.

* Penalty Differential represents the absolute value of the variance of penalty calls by team per game. If Team A takes two more penalties (or two fewer) than Team B, this is a 2.  Lower numbers indicate less variance between total penalties in a game – that is, a closer number of calls for both teams. 

We’ve got new rules, new refs, promoted officials, and an updated pronunciation guide for 2024-25.

Here is the NHL’s officating roster for the 2024-25 season:
