HOME FEED

Pick the games you want to ref

Browse available games and let us know which ones work for you. Our team reviews requests and finalizes assignments so every game gets the right ref.

REF DUTIES

Part host, part on-ice official

Check players in, drop the puck, and keep the game flowing. Our games run with one ref and loose officiating by design.

ONLINE TRAINING

No experience required

If you're already certified, you'll get trained on our game ops (~30 min). New to officiating? You'll get it all, including on-ice fundamentals (~60 min).
