Shouldn't that be "linespersons"?

Linesman (or more PC linesperson).

Does anyone else find it maddening that the primary contributors to content of the "Official Twitter account of the Abbotsford Canucks" cannot distinguish a lines(person) from a ref(her)ee?

That is why they are called Twits!

Kendall Hanley worked a game in Milwaukee. She can drop a puck properly.

She did fine, better than some linespersons I have seen working AHL games this season!

I saw my first POC referee last night at the HSK game. No issues, just was not expected.

NOLLY'S NOTES - BLOG #6 | San Jose Barracuda

As part of "Hockey is for Everyone", at the March 6 game, the San Jose Barracuda will have female ref and linesperson, and POC ref. And AHL's female VP of Hockey Ops will drop the ceremonial puck.

(It's also the Pucks and Paws game, so folks will be bringing their dogs to the game. Expect "Who Let the Dogs Out" to be played at least once.)
