Ray Scapinello

NHL - 1989-90    SCF 1990


Ray "Scampy" Scapinello was a NHL linesman, known for having the longest on-ice career of anyone in the history of the NHL.

At age 24, Scapinello officiated his first NHL game on October 17, 1971.

Scapinello's final regular season NHL game came on April 2, 2004. Although this was his final regular season game, he participated in the 2004 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Scapinello finally did retire in June 2004 after 33 seasons in the NHL as a linesman. His career includes 2,500 regular season games, 426 playoff games, the Canada Cup, the 1996 World Cup of Hockey, three All-Star games, including the 1979 Challenge Cup and Rendez-vous '87, and 21 Stanley Cup Finals. Of these feats, the most impressive is the fact that he never once missed a game due to injury or illness.

Scapinello was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame as an on-ice official in 2008.
