SUNYAC schools to go to four-man officiating system

There will be four on-ice officials for all SUNYAC games next season, new coordinator of officials Jeff Fulton told USCHO on Friday.

League officials voted Friday to approve the four-man system for the regular season and playoffs.

“This is significant for college hockey since we are the first NCAA D-III conference to adopt the 2-and-2 officiating system as D-I does,” said Fulton. “There are numerous benefits to the 2-and-2 versus the 2-and-1 system.”
