Mark Faucette (born June 9, 1958 in Springfield, Massachusetts) was a National Hockey League referee. He refereed NHL games on a regular basis from the 1987–88 NHL season until he was fired following the 2002–03 NHL season. He officiated one All-Star game and the 1998 Nagano Olympics. From the 1994–95 NHL season until the end of his refereeing career, he wore uniform number 11, which is now worn by Kelly Sutherland.
Faucette was honored by his peers with a portrait illustrating his refereeing career by artist Mike Mellet.
Famous quotes containing the word mark:
“The mark of the man of the world is absence of pretension. He does not make a speech; he takes a low business-tone, avoids all brag, is nobody, dresses plainly, promises not at all, performs much, speaks in monosyllables, hugs his fact. He calls his employment by its lowest name, and so takes from evil tongues their sharpest weapon. His conversation clings to the weather and the news, yet he allows himself to be surprised into thought, and the unlocking of his learning and philosophy.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
