Try Officiating Camp

Under-9 (U9) Try Officiating Celebrations

The Hockey Saskatchewan Officiating Development Program (ODP) is partnering with the U9 Half-Ice Celebrations program this season to help expose new officials in a safe and controlled environment.

These are learning opportunities for the players, coaches and parents and now for officials in selected locations. This event is open to officials in their first or second season, and those may be interested in officiating, but not yet certified and are 10-15 years old.

Officials will rotate through the sessions as they are shown the basics of officiating with an on-ice mentor shadowing them on the ice. Other officials will watch from the sidelines and learn with another official mentor coaching that group.

These events offer first- and second-year officials, and interested young people ages 10-15, on-ice mentorship in the U9 game format. Participants can practice procedures and learn expectations in a fun, safe environment with a senior official right there besides them on the ice.

Equipment can also be provided for those officials who need some support for these camps.
