A quote from one of the officials:
“The main factor of the selection of these officials has most of all to do with their experience officiating in high-level competitions,” IIHF officiating manager Konstantin Komissarov said Saturday in a release. “These include Stanley Cup playoffs, world championship competitions and Olympic competitions.” |
That's the reason to why they have been chosen.
