USA Hockey Officiating Seminars
TWO SEMINARS ADDED
Earn While You Learn! – officiating is a great way to earn money and serve the community while you are a student.
We will be conducting two final Level 1 and Level 2 officiating seminars in the Atlantic District in December. These will be the last two seminars for the season.
Both seminars will be a hybrid format with a Zoom classroom session and then an in person on-ice component. Both sessions are mandatory to get credit for completing your seminar attendance.
New Jersey Seminar
