  1. Pre-Game Duties Departure for Arena and Pre-Game Locker Room Duties

  2. Before Departure • Make sure you know where/when your game is at and allow ample time to arrive on time • Different associations will require an allocated amount of time before the game, typically 20-30 minutes in advance • Develop a routine when packing your equipment and always double check that you have everything before leaving for the arena • Dress professional • Business casual attire for all games. • Check with local association for attire for special games.

  3. ARRIVAL • Be pleasant and courteous to rink staff • Avoid long conversations with team officials • Do not discuss other officials, teams or games with team officials • Don't linger in public areas

  4. DRESSING ROOM • Keep the dressing room private for you and your officiating team • Stretch and warm up • Discuss upcoming game with partners • Teams playing and who the coaches are • How you want to handle certain situations with your partner

  5. On Ice - Pre-Game • Enter the ice before the teams • Familiarize yourself with • Player benches and penalty benches • Gate(s) teams will use to enter/exit the ice • Check for safety hazards with the ice, boards, etc.

  6. DURING WARM-UPS • Introduce yourself to the Off-Ice Officials. Remember that the scorekeepers are part of your team. • Check the scoresheet and make sure all information is completed properly (i.e. date, time, location) • Introduce yourself to the coaching staff of each team • If a coach forgot to fill out his CEP #, phone or sign the scoresheet, this is the time to attain that information

  7. AFTER WARM-UPS • Check both nets and ensure there are no pucks left over from warm ups. • Properly anchor the nets in place, if necessary (different age levels in different districts will dictate when the “pegs” are necessary) • Make sure proper game pucks are available (typically borrow two or three pucks from the home team) • Blow your whistle to summon teams to opening face-off • Ensure that everyone is ready to go, especially • Partner(s) and Off-Ice Officials • Drop the puck, be safe and have fun!
