12 referees and 10 linesmen were nominated for the 2015 IIHF World Junior Championship in Canada including three officials from the host country with Pascal St-Jacques (Laval, Que.), Jordan Browne (Oshawa, Ont.) and Bevan Mills (Langley, BC).
Swedish referee Marcus Vinnerborg is the most experience referee of the crew with 10 IIHF top-level nominations prior to this season. Vinnerborg became the first European NHL referee in 2010 and started another assignment abroad recently by officiating in the Swiss NLA.
He is closely followed by Konstantin Olenin (Russia, 9) and Tobias Wehrli (Switzerland, 8) in the number of nominations but the list also includes talented officials who will work at this level for the first time after a strong performance in last season’s U18 World Championship.
