The NHL for the first time selected four female officials to work on the ice at prospect tournaments held this weekend.

Katie Guay and Kelly Cooke were selected as referees, while Kirsten Welsh and Kendall Hanley will work as linesmen, the league announced Friday.

It's the first time women have officiated at the pre-training camp prospects tournament level. It's the next step in the league's bid to have women officiate at the NHL level. Guay is the most experienced of the four, having refereed women's games last year at the Winter Olympics in South Korea. She's assigned to work the Anaheim Ducks-hosted tournament in Irvine, California.
