Via KK: Women officials to work prospect tournaments

Via Kuklas’s Korner, this story from NHL.com is impressive:

Four women officials will experience NHL action for the first time this weekend.

Referees Katie Guay and Kelly Cooke and linesmen Kirsten Welsh and Kendall Hanley, four of the 96 officials who participated in the 2019 NHL Exposure Combine, have been selected to officiate rookie tournaments in Irvine, California; Buffalo; Nashville and Traverse City, Michigan. A total of 30 officials from the combine were selected to work the rookie tournaments.

Update: From the Associated Press:

Hanley, who has spent 11 seasons officiating at the NCAA Division III level, will work the Detroit Red Wings‘ tournament in Traverse City, Michigan. Walsh just completed her collegiate playing career at Robert Morris, and will work at the Sabres’ tournament in Buffalo.
