According to this weekend's Cornell hockey game program, the referee for tonight's Cornell-Princeton game is scheduled to be Frank Cole. Cole has been a Hockey East official for many years, and according to Mike Machnik account, refereed last night's Merrimack game. I know some Hockey East linesmen have officiated ECAC games occasionally (Gravallese, Taylor and Scleparis come to mind), but this is the first time I've heard of a HE referee doing an ECAC game. Is this a new trend?
