OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR SOUTHLAND OFFICIALS

The number of games an official is assigned is dependent on the number officials in the pool. An official cannot be assigned games until they have a Hockey Alberta registration number. That number must be supplied to the Referee Coordinator. This should be with the official at each of the official’s game.

Officials will be assigned games in levels and divisions that are consistent with their experience.
