OAKVILLE – The Calgary Canucks aren’t the only piece of Alberta hockey headed to the Centennial Cup.

Alberta officials Mason Stewart and Scott Kramers have both been selected to officiate at the event, taking place in Oakville from May 9-19. The hosting Oakville Blades welcome the champions of the AJHL, SJHL, MJHL, SIJHL, NOJHL, OJHL, CCHL, LHJAAAQ and MHL to compete for Canada’s National Junior A Championship.

Both experienced officials, Stewart and Kramers bring skill and quality officiating to the table in their years on the ice.

Stewart began officiating at the age of twelve in the Central Region. From there, he attended Central Zone Camp and Hockey Alberta Development Camp in 2013, Hockey Canada OPOE in 2015, the World U17 Championship in 2017 and the Canada Winter Games in 2019. Recently, Stewart attended the Hockey Canada National High Performance Camp in February.
