Top game officials from Switzerland and Finland will take charge of this season's Champions Hockey League Final, including the two referees who both have previous CHL Final experience.

Head Referee for the Final on 5 February in Gothenburg will be Marc Lemelin. A native of Albuquerque, USA, Lemelin joined Switzerland’s National League in the 2018/19 season, after officiating over 50 games in the NHL. It is the second consecutive CHL Final for Lemelin, who has refereed in the EBEL and DEL in past seasons. He was also selected for the Gold Medal Game at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyongchang and worked several games at the IIHF World Championships.

Joining Lemelin with the armbands will be Liiga referee Mikko Kaukokari who was previously assigned to the CHL Final 2017 in Gothenburg. The Finnish official has experience of more than 460 games in his own country, and has been selected for two World Junior Championships Finals. Running the lines will be Hannu Sormunen (FIN) and Bryce Kovacs (SUI).

"These game officials are all top-ranked in their domestic leagues," CHL Senior Sport Advisor Bo Lennartsson said. “They stood out with great performances in the Champions Hockey League and, as currently part of the world’s elite, they have very much deserved the chance to officiate this years’ CHL Final in Gothenburg.”
