One other UMaine hockey connection with the Olympics was Stacy Livingston, who coached the UM women's hockey team when it was a club team.  She refereed the women's hockey final between the USA and Canada.  Unfortunately, she did a horrible job, calling eight penalties in a row against Canada, most of which were questionable and which resulted in two 5x3s.  Then she continued to call penalties, but in a couple of instances made calls against the USA although the infraction, if it was worthy of a penalty, was committed by Canada.  (In one such case, the US player was called for charging even though she was skating into the offensive zone with the puck!)  The announcers made several comments about her calls, but they identified her as being from "Northern New York."  Both of the U.S. goals were power play goals, and I'm sure there would have been loud complaints about the officiating if the U.S. had squeaked out a win.  But it's at least arguable that the officiating hurt the U.S. team also by preventing any flow from developing throughout the contest.
