He was one of the referees selected to officiate the 2014 Stanley Cup Finals and the 2019 Stanley Cup Finals. Steve Kozari and Kelly Sutherland were to officiate the game 7 of the 2019 Stanley Cup Finals between the St. Louis Blues and the Boston Bruins. However, due to controversy surrounding the officiating in game 5 of the same series, the NHL opted to name Gord Dwyer and Chris Rooney as the officials for game 7.[2][3]
