Referee Records

There's an old joke that goes "What's black and white and never right?" The answer is "a referee!" While I do not believe that any referee is biased, I do know that different referees have different styles and attitudes. This, in turn, can affect the outcome of the game. Here are the results of Canuck games based on those referees who have worked at least ten games since the 1987-88 season (when referee names were first reported regularly).

Notes
Referee's seasons indicate which seasons they refereed Canuck games. In some cases this may be different from the seasons they have actually worked as referees.

With the advent of the two referee system, this statistical information had to be adjusted. An "alone" win is worth two "shared" wins when calculating winning percentage. For example: if a referee worked one game alone and the Canucks won and worked two games with another referee which the Canucks lost both games, his winning percentage would be .500

For referees who worked prior to 1999-2000, the Canuck Record is Wins-Losses-Ties. Starting in 1999-2000, their record is listed as Wins+Overtime Wins, Losses+Overtime Losses, Ties. This is used to calculate the Adjusted Winning Percentage (AWP). Shootout wins and losses are treated the same as overtime wins and losses.

Statistics are for regular season games only and current to the end of the 2008-09 season.
