DISTRICT 4 SEMINAR INFORMATION
![]() In order to become a registered USA Hockey
official, three steps must be completed. Registration Process and Frequently Asked Questions How do I get an
application? What if I want to use a
paper application? How do I find out who is my
Local Supervisor of Officials? Is there a fee involved
with the officials application? How do I get my open book
exam? How long do I have to take
the open book exam? Where do I find out about
the seminars in my area? How do I get credit for
attending the seminar? Where do I take the closed
book exam? What if I choose not to
take a closed book exam? When will I receive my card
and crest? There is a lot of stuff
going to and from the national office. How long does it take
to receive materials? Is there a way I can check
my registration status? Now that I have my card and
crest and am eligible to officiate, how do I get games?
|
|
Once all three steps have been completed you will be sent your credentials and crest - you are now an official ! A tip for first time officials is to complete these three steps as early as possible since the first year does take a few more weeks to process than an existing official who was registered the previous season.
It is the official's responsibility to seek schedulers for game assignments. You are not limited to any area. You are actually certified to work any USA Hockey game anywhere.
We also put on clinics which provide additional training and time on the ice which is NOT part of the USA certification process. This is ice time provided by the association and time spent by our senior officials to better ourselves as a group. These dates will also be posted shortly. THESE CLINICS ARE OPEN TO ALL PERSONS THAT ARE ALREADY OFFICIALS, THOSE NEW OFFICIALS, OR ANYONE WHO IS POTENTIALLY THINKING ABOUT BECOMING AN OFFICIAL BUT IS NOT SURE AND WANTS TO SEE WHAT OFFICIATING IS ALL ABOUT.
