Rules To Online Reporting

Rules to Online Reporting

In our Branch, an area of concern continues to be reporting procedures. If you have any questions of how to fill out a game report, please contact your local Referee-in-Chief, a senior official in your area, or any Executive member. In Previous years, senior officials faced disciplinary action for not following proper reporting procedures. Executive contact information can be found online or in your workbook.

REPORTING

It is extremely important that official game reports and game sheets be completed and submitted properly so players and coaches can be notified if supplemental discipline is required.
Some penalties only require reporting on the front of the original game sheet (back of the original game sheet on older game sheets that do not have the box on the front). While other penalties require the game sheet and an Official Game Report to be submitted.
Official Game Reports must be filled out completely and legible. It is encouraged that game reports be filed online. They must be written concisely to ensure all the important information is included.
It is recommended an official keep a photo or copy of their report for their personal files.
League Presidents, League Referee-in-Chiefs, or Hockey Saskatchewan representatives must be able to understand what happened in order to be able to assess the appropriate suspensions, action, etc. to follow.
The Official Game Report must be completed and reported (via email, online submission, fax, or phone) by noon the next day along with a copy of the game sheet.
Never make any comments about possible suspensions to coaches, players or fans. Officials enforce the rules on the ice and do not issue suspensions.
Make sure when a Game Misconduct has been assessed that the right rule reference number is used. This will help assist the individual who may have to deal with a possible suspension.
If you have made an error in the calling of a penalty or recording it on the game sheet, please contact the appropriate League President or the Hockey Saskatchewan Office.
Referee(s) are responsible for submitting all reports.

SERIOUS INJURY PROTOCOL

Should you have the misfortune of working in a game where there is a serious injury, there is a certain protocol you are expected to follow. A "serious injury" is defined as an incident where an ambulance is required, or a player, official, team staff or spectator has to leave the game and it is anticipated they will be hospitalized as a result of the injury.

Officials must record the time of the game at which the injury occurred and the name and number of the player(s) involved. (The victim and other players involved, if applicable.)
Immediately after the game or by 10 a.m. the next day at the latest, notify the Hockey Saskatchewan Manager, Officiating via email. Complete an official’s game report on the incident and discuss the report in your email.

DO NOT make any comments to the media concerning the incident.

DO NOT give any statements or make comments to investigators or insurance agents without first consulting with the Hockey Saskatchewan Manager, Officiating or a member of the Referee’s Division Executive.
