  LIST OF OFFICIALS

 

The IIHF Officiating Committee has selected 16 referees and 16 linesmen to officiate at the 2016 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship in Russia.

 

Pending formal approval by the on-ice officials, the referees and linesmen listed below will call games at the 2016 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship that will take place in Moscow and St. Petersburg from 6 to 22 May 2016.

 

The officials were selected from a list of 63 candidates whose performances in international and domestic competitions were closely observed during the last few months. The referees and linesmen join from 12 different countries.

 

The group includes both experienced officials combining for 62 World Championship and Olympic participations as well as ten officials who will work for the first time at the top men’s senior World Championship after having previously left their mark at other international events.

Among the most experienced referees is one from the host nation. Konstantin Olenin called games at six World Championships and one Olympics. He officiated the gold medal game of the 2013 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship in Stockholm and the bronze medal game of the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi. Daniel Piechaczek from Germany even had one tournament more – 7 World Championships and one Olympics.

 

Tobias Wehrli from Switzerland also worked in six World Championships but some of them as linesman. He officiated in two gold medal games at the Worlds, last year in Prague as a referee and in 2010 in Cologne as a linesman.

 

Another official who converted from linesman to referee is Stefan Fonselius from Finland. He was assigned to gold medal games at the 2009 Worlds in Berne and the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver and returns in Russia to officiate for the first time in six years in a top-level IIHF event.

unbelievable start of the match today. incredible, insane and absolutely awesome 1st period. 17-4 shots in 1st period. almost all 20 minutes we played in Denmarks defence zone! after the break Denmark found much better tactic, changed their play and the match became more equal.

    • You keep writing about various countries from completely different parts of the world that you know nothing about: Gaza, Russia, Venezuela, etc. Maybe you could also tell us something about Cambodia or Nepal  You hate the USA and would even prefer the devil as their enemy, but there are countries to which Russia has done much more harm than the USA, for example, all of Eastern and Central Europe: Poland, Czechia etc. Just understand that not everyone thinks the way you do.
    • The next ban country will be :Venezuela , they refuse to give their petrol/gold to USA 
    • For me all of the entire of Russian society is a great disappointment. In the early 1990s, they fought for Yeltsin- who, of courss, failed, but that's no reason to allow themselves to be manipulated by Putin- a man worse than even Brezhnev. In my opinion, it would be much easier to reach an agreement with the USSR than with today's Russia, because the USSR and its ruling Communist Party were much more predictable than Putin and his gang, who now is rulling in Moscow.

    • Lindsey Vonn has officially qualified and will be skiing for  at her 5th Olympics!  She first competed at the 2002 Salt Lake games as a 17 year old.  Would be an absolutely remarkable story if she wins a medal in Cortina
    • The Curling pairings have been updated in our schedule after the end of the qualification events.
    • For 50 years, we lived without gas from the USSR, and it was one of the best periods in European history, so we'll manage. It was a huge mistake by our politicians after the fall of the USSR on early 1990s, to allow themselves to be bought off with their dirty money. I hope it never happens again.

    • @bestmen Look, I've been reading your comments regarding Russia for quite some time, and I don't want to bite my tongue this time.   First, context matters. I agree with @copravolley. It’s not an insult to say that people who don’t live near Russia often underestimate what this war actually means for Europe. Out of the three of us, I can say with certainty that I feel the most directly affected by and concerned about this war.   In the same way I wouldn’t share my opinions on Africans and the conflicts on their continent, or lecture Palestinians about the war in Gaza, it’s reasonable to listen first when Europeans explain why this is not just a political disagreement that happens to block Russian athletes from competing, but an ongoing war of aggression that doesn’t only affect Ukraine, but also countless other countries located nearby with a long and dramatic history of communism and Russian influence. To make it clear, you're absolutely entitled to your opinion. However, you have repeatedly pushed the same narrative about the supposed injustice towards Russian competitors.   Second of all, the claim that Russian athletes have nothing to do with politics is blatantly wrong. It's a lie, and you know it. Countless Russians are actively supporting the crimes that Russia is committing on Ukrainian soil, advocating for further military operations, and show little to no remorse. Many Russians supported Putin throughout his presidential campaigns and continued doing so even after the invasion. Just look at their public statements made over the past three years. They are expected to align with the state’s narrative. That’s not an individual moral judgment, it’s how the system works.   Major Russian sports clubs are directly linked to or derived from the military. Hockey players wear war symbols and slogans on their jerseys, and this is only the tip of the iceberg. Russian sports and politics are two sides of the same coin, closely related ever since the state began pouring money into centralised doping programs and sporting propaganda. Bringing up Netanyahu or Israeli doping is pretty much just whataboutism. If there is proven, systematic wrongdoing in sport, it should be addressed through proper investigations and sanctions. That does not magically erase or excuse Russia’s actions, nor does it justify pretending this war doesn’t exist when it becomes inconvenient.
