Hockey East announced Thursday that Brian Murphy has been named supervisor of men\u2019s officials.<\/p>\n

Murphy, who served as an official in Hockey East from 1986 to 1988, has 32 years of experience as an official in the NHL and is one of just two Americans to have officiated over 2,000 NHL regular-season games.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m thrilled to welcome Brian back to Hockey East where he started his long career as an official,\u201d said Hockey East commissioner Steve Metcalf in a statement. \u201cI know I also speak for the coaches when I say I\u2019m excited to have his expertise and passion for officiating rejoin our league.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI would like to thank Steve Metcalf for the opportunity to return to Hockey East, the best collegiate ice hockey league in the country,\u201d added Murphy. \u201cI look forward to sharing my passion for officiating development with the officiating staff, the student athletes, coaches, administrators and member institutions. I would also like to thank Dan Schachte for all his efforts to develop the current Hockey East officiating staff to what it is today.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to his on-ice duties, Murphy served as the president of the NHL Officiating Association from 2008 to 2015. In that role, he was responsible for establishing the association\u2019s agenda, communications, and direction for the executive board. He also led all collective bargaining, insurance, labor relations, negotiations and pension duties for NHL officials.<\/p>\n

Murphy began his officiating career in 1983 while at New Hampshire. He was accepted into the USA Hockey development program and officiated New Hampshire high school hockey before working for two years as an official in the AHL and Hockey East. In 1988, he was selected to work the Hockey East championship game, the Beanpot title game, and the NCAA Division I championship game.<\/p>\n

A native of Dover, N.H., Murphy graduated with a business degree from UNH before earning his master\u2019s degree in business administration in 2018 from Southern New Hampshire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
