Four officials from Hockey Saskatchewan have been selected to represent Canada at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy — one of the highest honours in their field.
Yorkton’s Tarrington Wyonzek, Cudworth’s Cianna Murray, Moose Jaw’s Michelle McKenna, and Alex Clarke of Drake will all take to the ice in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo next February.
The International Ice Hockey Federation announced the appointments this week, calling them a “significant achievement” for both the officials and the province’s officiating program.
For Clarke and Murray, the 2026 Games mark their second Olympic appearance after working the Beijing tournament in 2022. Wyonzek will officiate the men’s competition, adding to an international résumé that includes two IIHF World Junior Championships and two IIHF World Men’s Hockey Championships.
“Officiating at the Olympic Games is the pinnacle of an amateur official’s career,” said Dan Hanoomansingh, Hockey Canada’s officiating manager. “These officials have been working tirelessly toward this goal for the last four years, and it is a credit to their determination and skill that they have made it a reality.”
The 2026 Winter Olympics run February 6–22, with hockey split between the two host cities.
