Beau Halkidis

Beau Halkidis began officiating local youth and adult hockey before attending Don Koharski’s officiating summer camp, where he decided to pursue a career as an official. He was invited to three consecutive NHL Exposure Combines and selected for USA Hockey’s Officiating Development Program. He progressed through junior hockey before advancing to the SPHL, ECHL and American Hockey League.

Beau spent 10 seasons in the AHL, making his NHL debut in 2019 and officiating nearly 200 NHL regular-season games during that span. He was selected to referee four Calder Cup Finals, including three consecutive Finals immediately before being promoted to a full-time NHL referee in 2026.
