Hockey Canada and Hockey Saskatchewan recommended that officials be 12 years old as of December 31. However, the decision is up to the parent, official and local association. Please ensure to check with the local association that there will be games for younger officials to work as well as the required mentorship. Some local minor hockey associations have a minimum age requirement, but Hockey Saskatchewan can certify officials as young as 10 years old as of December 31 depending on the official’s location.
Yes, all officials across the province have to complete the on-line learning. Junior officials (17 and Under as of December 31) will complete the Hockey University online modules, while the Senior officials will complete Hockey Saskatchewan's online modules. The on-line learning has helped Saskatchewan to go to half-day clinics, which allows us to offer on-ice clinics immediately following many of the classroom clinics. The online modules must be completed prior to attending a clinic. Please provide the certificate at the clinic as proof of completion.
