Summary

On Episode 58 of the Team Stripes Podcast – host Logan Bunn speaks with Kelly Cooke, an accomplished referee who was one of the four female officials to work the 2019 NHL Pre-Season. Kelly began her officiating career at the age of 12, following in her brother’s footsteps – as he was also an official. While developing as an official she also had quite the talent as a player. Kelly would go on to play Prep School and later on at Princeton University. Not stopping there – once completing her time at Princeton she would go on to join the Boston Blades of the CWHL and later the Boston Pride of the NWHL. She never stopped pursuing officiating, and even balanced that with her training to become a lawyer! As an official Kelly has achieved some impressive milestones, including being part of the first ever all-female officiating crew in the history of the NCAA Women’s Frozen Four. Kelly has also worked international hockey in several different countries. She is still involved with the NWHL – but this time as the Director of Player Safety. We we’re fortunate to have Kelly join us on this episode of the Podcast – and we hope you enjoy!
