Started refereeing to stay involved in the game of hockey after finishing playing U18. Career highlights being able to officiate high levels of hockey for both women’s and men’s hockey in Ottawa. Having the opportunity to referee with a lot of good officials in the Eastern Ontario region makes going to the rink enjoyable.
