Janet has made a groundbreaking and lasting impact on hockey in Newfoundland and Labrador as a builder, particularly through her trailblazing career as an official. She became the province’s first female hockey official in 1995 and went on to achieve exceptional success at the provincial, national, and international levels.

Internationally, she officiated major events such as the IIHF Women’s World Championships, the Air Canada Cup, and the Torino Olympic pre-tournament, including being selected to referee championship games, demonstrating her elite standing in the sport. At the national level, she worked events like the Canada Winter Games and CIS (U Sports) championships, again earning opportunities to officiate at the highest level.
