New referee exchange program with the AHL

[Petey21]

Apparently there will be a new referee exchange program between the Swedish Elite League and the AHL (possibly NHL also in the long run). Referees from the SEL will go to the AHL for 14 days and AHL referees will ref in Sweden for the same time period. No words though on when this exchange program will begin, but I would assume this season.

Great news.

I guess I should know this, living over here, but I haven't paid attention, so I'll ask if anybody knows how Marcus Vinnerborg has been doing, speaking of Swedish refs overseas.

Well, he'll be wearing #45, at least.

TV4 had a segment with him during the sports news last night. Nothing specific really, interview with him and the Terry Gregson.
