Swede Knox

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Swede Knox (born on March 2, 1948 in Edmonton, Alberta) is a former NHL linesman who graduated from Athabasca University in 1999 with a Bachelor of Administration degree. He had officiated over 2,248 NHL games since 1972, and wore a helmet from the mid-1980s until his retirement in the early-2000s.

Knox, as a linesman, later filled in as referee during a game in Toronto in the early 1990s, when Don Koharski couldn't finish the game and Kevin Maguire made his NHL officiating debut as a linesman. The changes were made before the third period. Knox wore Koharski's jersey, while Maguire wore Knox's jersey.
