This week on the Original Sports Podcast with Mark Maradei we will be talking with Paul Stewart. Stewart is a former professional ice hockey player and referee.He was Inducted in the United States Hockey Hall of Fame in 2018, he is the grandson of Bill Stewart.
Stewart played in both the World Hockey Association and the National Hockey League. He played with Mark Messier for the Cincinnati Stingers. His last season of professional hockey was 1979-80 with the Quebec Nordiques.
After his playing days ended, he had a lengthy career as an NHL referee. He officiated 1,010 regular season games, 49 playoff games, the 1987 Canada Cup, the 1991 Canada Cup and two All-Star games. He never wore a helmet during his officiating career. From the 1994-95 NHL season until his retirement in 2003, he wore uniform number 22.
Stewart is Men's and Women's League Director of Officiating for ECAC Hockey, and in 2012, also took on duties as a judicial and discipline consultant to the Kontinental Hockey League.
We are going to talk with Paul about his career as a professional hockey player from playing for the Broome Dusters where he claims he spent more time in the penalty box than he did on the ice through his time in the AHL. We get in depth on his post playing days and discuss the life of a National Hockey League referee. We will talk about what Paul is up to since retiring from officiating in 2003. For our “We Just Gotta Know” segment we will ask Paul to share some of his favorite guys he worked with officiating games.
