Koharski is a rules analyst on NHL on TNT, and Director of Officiating for the National Lacrosse League.
In 1976, he was signed by the American Hockey League while working with a local dairy farm, for which he was milking cows.
[1] On April 8, 2006, Koharski reached the 1,500-regular-season-game milestone when he officiated a game between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Tampa Bay Lightning.
The Devils, however, got in touch with Bergen County Judge James F. Madden to issue an injunction to allow Schoenfeld back in the coach's box, just before the game was scheduled to start.
(Paul McInnis, a manager of a skating rink in Yonkers, New York, took over as referee, with Vin Godelski and Jim Sullivan as linesmen.)
The Bruins would go on to win the series in seven games, then be swept by the Edmonton Oilers in the Stanley Cup Finals.
Koharski's son Jamie and brother Terry also worked as referees in various leagues, including the USHL, ECHL and AHL.
[6] In 2020, Jamie's wife, Liz Sylvia Koharski, became the 17th woman to have her name engraved on the Stanley Cup, due to her role with the Tampa Bay Lightning as an administrative staffer.
