LAHOA is proud to announce & congratulate LAHOA official Tyler Hascall on being assigned his first United States Hockey League (USHL) games! Tyler will be refereeing a game between the Madison Capitals and the Muskegon Lumberjacks in Madison, WI on April 5th with fellow LAHOA official Niko Diehr, who will be manning the lines. The next night, on April 6th, Tyler will referee a game between the Dubuque Fighting Saints and the Chicago Steel in Dubuque, IA. Tyler has been living in Texas this season working for the North America Hockey League (NAHL). Often times, near the end of the season, officials who have been performing well in their respective leagues, in this case, the NAHL for Tyler, will be given the opportunity to get a “taste” of the next level, the USHL. This is a good sign for Tyler, who lived in Montana last season working primarily Jr A Tier 3. Up next for Tyler after a weekend “up top” is the NAHL playoffs. Good luck this weekend and the rest of the way!
