Dean Morton (born February 27, 1968) is a Canadian former ice hockey referee in the National Hockey League (NHL), and a former defenceman who played one game in the NHL in 1989.
As a youth, Morton played in the 1981 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with a minor ice hockey team from Peterborough, Ontario. [1]
He played in one NHL game for the Detroit Red Wings during the 1989–90 NHL season, and is one of only four players to score a goal in their only NHL game, along with Brad Fast, Samuel Henley, and Rolly Huard. [2]
He received media attention on HBO's 24/7 Winter Classic special when a post-game dressing room scene showed him being congratulated for a "ballsy call" by partner Stephen Walkom. The call in question was a goaltender interference call to disallow a goal by the Pittsburgh Penguins that would have tied the game against the Washington Capitals. [3]
Dean Morton officiated his final NHL game on March 12, 2022, in Calgary, Alberta at the Saddledome, in a game between the Calgary Flames and the Detroit Red Wings.
