Officials

How do I become an official?

With the new season just around the corner, we are seeking new officials to join our roster within Bow Valley. If you will be 13 by December 31, 2023, you are eligible to be considered to join the officiating roster within Bow Valley. If you are new to officiating and would like to be considered, please contact Trevor Morgan at mho@bvhs.ca and Yvonne Neufeld at von629hockey@gmail.com no later than August 1st with the following.

Name:

DOB:

Please note if you have officiated within Bow Valley previously you will be included in next years roster unless you indicated that you are not returning to officiating. If you are 16+ prior to the end of 2020 you will be transitioned to the Hockey Alberta - Central Region Referees' Committee roster and be assigned by their assignors.

In the past we have had levels of interest expressed that have exceeded the space that we have on our roster and as such have had to run a lottery to fill the spaces. We do cap space on our roster as we want to ensure that we are able to provide an adequate number of games to enable development of our officials in their first years of officiating.

A final roster will be established no later than August 15th and follow up instructions will be sent out to both new and existing officials with respect to clinics and the assignment process for the 2021-2022 season.

Thanks in advance and feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.

 

Regards,
