Don Koharski was an NHL referee for 32- years and over that time he officiated 1719 regular season games and 273 playoff games, including 11 Stanley Cup Finals games. Koharaki is known as one of the most well respected officials in the game, by both players, coaches and his peers.
After retirement Koharski was looking to get into broadcasting. The first idea he pitched was a spinoff ides or "Coach's Corner", but Koharski's version would involve a referee relaying important rules and information. Upon hearing the idea TSN was very interested, but there was a catch.
