Information for first year officials:
You must be 13 years of age by Dec 31, 2011 to officiate this year. The number of games you are assigned will depend on the number of new officials registered each year and the number of hockey teams in the NE Zone. A first year official averages about 25 games in their first year, but it is not unusual to receive 40 to 50 assignments. If you play hockey and become an official your assignments are usually lower as your hockey games and practices will interfere with your officiating assignments.
All officials will require an e-mail address as assignments will be sent to each official via e-mail.
You must attend both days of the clinic. You cannot miss any time for hockey practices/games or you will fail the course. All persons must pass a written test to be able to officiate.
Once you finish the clinic you will be required to purchase a referee jersey, black ref pants, red arm band and a receipt book. Do not purchase the jersey with the black lining under the arms as these are not allowed.
