Canadian Kelly Sutherland: But the International Ice Hockey Federation says nationality didn't come into play when it came time to choose who would work the game between Canada and Sweden, according to CTV. The referees for Sunday's game are Ohio-born, Saskatchewan-raised Brad Meier, who has Canadian and U.S. citizenship, and Canadian Kelly Sutherland. The linesmen are Canadians Derek Amell and Greg Devorski and Russia -- The officiating crew for Sunday's Olympic gold medal hockey game is made up of three Canadians and a Canada-U.S. dual citizen. "The main factor of the selection of these officials has most of all to do with their experience officiating in high-level competitions," officiating manager Konstantin Komissarov said Saturday in a release. "These include Stanley Cup playoffs, world championship competitions and Olympic competitions." (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
