    Ray "Scampy" Scapinello set untouchable records for games worked by an official in his 33 years as a linesman in the National Hockey League. His work ethic and dedication to the game earned him trips to an astounding twenty Stanley Cup final series as well as deep respect from officials, players, coaches, and fans alike. On and off the ice, Ray is considered one of hockey’s great personalities, a chronic practical joker, and a true ambassador of the sport. Born and raised in Guelph, Ontario, Ray has lived in the same neighbourhood for more than 50 years and in 2006 he started the Ray Scapinello Foundation to help needy students from the area pay for college.
