If you are new to officiating, please be patient as well as persistent.

There are over 400 new officials each year attempting to referee mite and squirt youth hockey games. Most of our younger officials are players with busy schedules. Coordinating playing schedules and refereeing schedules takes some time and effort. Your refereeing credentials last from the day you become certified until November 30th of the following year.

Have a safe and successful season, but most importantly, have FUN.
