He was a regular official in the Ontario Hockey League for a decade and in 1988 was assigned to work the World “C” Championships in Australia, where he handled the title match. Off ice contributions began in Hearst in 1976 and continued for 30+ yrs. He began by tutoring referees and linesmen and he was a Supervisor Instructor from the mid seventies.
