All youth (boys and girls) PeeWee/U12 and above are eligible to complete the requirements for USA Hockey Officiating at Level 1, and officiate at our SLPYHA mite games. The requirements are listed below, and officials earn $25/game, payable in one lump sum at the end of the season. This is a great way to learn more about the game, connect with younger players, gain some valuable experience, and earn some extra money.
Requirements for Youth Officials (Level 1) are:
LEVEL 1 Complete
Level 1 officiating seminars are located throughout the Metro Area, and are listed on the USA Hockey Officiating Website.
Youth Officials are required to have black pants (they do not need to be official referee pants, but they should not have patterns or logos), a helmet with a half shield, a whistle, and a referee jersey. Half shields can be purchased from our SLPYHA equipment manager, and referee jerseys are available from the equipment room.
