As the Junior A hockey season comes to an end, 16 officials – eight referees and eight linespersons – are gearing up for the 2025 Centennial Cup, presented by Tim Hortons.
The officials who will officiate Canada’s National Junior A Championship in Calgary are the top officials in their respective leagues across the country. All 16 have participated in the Hockey Canada Officiating Program of Excellence and were coached and evaluated throughout the season across the Canadian Junior Hockey League (CJHL). Final selections were made jointly by Hockey Canada and the CJHL.
“These officials have all earned the opportunity to finish their season with a national championship,” said Dan Hanoomansingh (Vancouver, BC), manager of officiating with Hockey Canada. “It is a long season, but they have remained at the top of their game into the playoffs and will deservingly take the ice at the Centennial Cup.”
