Maine still has goal judges, but I don't know why. Useless. The military had a name for such a position but I've forgotten it :-(
I can recall only one time when a goal judge was important to a game, and I'm no longer sure that he (well, I) was right.

At last, an explanation that makes sense! The truth is refs
almost never listen to goal judges anyway, preferring to believe
their own eyes. But the idea of having reviewable video from an
under the crossbar video is a good one. Technology has become so
advanced and inexpensive there really is no reason not to require
all arenas to have them.

Light Illuminators are their official titles. Rinks are still
required to have the lights, but not required to have someone
sitting there. They can have them triggered remotely. A rule
mostly lobbied for by Notre Dame when they built their new rink
and neglected a goal judges booth in the bleacher student
section.

rules changes in 2012 made goal judges recommended, not

eliminated them for all regular season games last season.
