Brendan Shanahan NHL's chief player disciplinarian has announced that the league has promoted four new referees from the AHL for the 2011-12 season they are...

Darcy Burchell
Francis Charron
Mark Lemelin
Marcus Vinnerborg

their profiles can be found at http://www.nhlofficials.com/member_listing.asp

Shanahan says that these four referees are tough as nails and take no nonsense! They will call five minute majors to hits to the head and throw out any player in the game who tries to injure another player on purpose.

I wonder what number Darcy Burchell's will be wearing. I'll want to get his jersey.

vinnerborg has done some NHL games already....... but this is his first year "full time"

charron is a garbage ref and was in the AHL

I thought hitting in general was intent to injure.. you don't hit someone and say sorry afterward, come on. :haha:
