The other WCHA ref was Brian (?) Ricci. He did a terrible job in the
semi-final. I thought Sheperd did a good job. I have no idea why they
paired Ricci with Shep.... I don't think they worked as a pair during
the regular season. Jim Berlew would have been a better choice...
 
According to Charlie Shub (when we asked the same question between
periods Saturday), since the refs had to be either ECAC or WCHA, they
brought in one team from each league, and chose the better team based
on the semi-final games.
