Dan Schachte Wife: Was Dan Schachte Married?

A gorgeous lady known only as Kim was the wife of Madison’s Dan Schachte, the first American to officiate 2,000 NHL games.

Sadly, Kim is mourning her beloved husband who passed away on Sept. 6 at age 64.

Though Kim’s husband was very popular, she kept her life under the wraps and as a result, there’s not much information on her.

Her husband reached a career milestone on January 3, 2004, working his 1,500th game in St. Louis, Missouri in a match between the St. Louis Blues and the San Jose Sharks.

Eight years later, on February 18, 2012 in St. Louis, Missouri, her husband became the fifth official ever to work 2,000 games, in a match between the St. Louis Blues and the Minnesota Wild.

Her hussband was the first and is one of two American officials to work 2,000 games. He officiated his final NHL game a month later in Chicago on March 18, 2012 between the Chicago Blackhawks and the Washington Capitals. The Blackhawks won 5-2.

Her husband worked 2,009 games total over a career which span three decades.

Her husband wore uniform number 47 from the 1994-95 season until he retired and notable tournaments he worked in include;

• The 1991 Canada Cup,
• The 1996 World Cup of Hockey,
• The 2002 Winter Olympics, and
• Five Stanley Cup Finals in 1997, 1998, 2000, 2001 and 2002, which includes a game 7 in 2001 between New Jersey Devils and Colorado Avalanche.
