OFF ICE OFFICIALS GUIDE
OFF ICE OFFICIALS GUIDE
Off ice officials need to be as neutral as possible during the game.
In the event a player, penalty box attendant, or assistant time teeeper is causing a disruption, simply sound the horn and get the referees attention and explain to the referee the situation.
The refs will address the issue by either issuing additional penalties or removal from the penalty box.
It is the responsibiliy of the on ice officials to control the game and issue violations when necessary that follow USA Hockey Rules and guidelines.
Report to the league commissioner any off ice official volunteers that have to be removed from their duties during a game.
COMPLETING GAME SHEETS
Home Team is responsible for getting the Game Sheet to the Off ice Officials
Roster labels – HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Please make sure all copies have either a roster sticker or written roster.
List players in order by Jersey Number not last name!
If labels are not available, please print clearly with the first and last name of players dressed to participate.
Visiting team (right side) & home team (left side) on the score sheet
Verify the number of players on the labels or listed on score sheet are on the bench.
It is vital that if a player is not at the game that they are not listed on the score sheet.
A suspended player should be listed on the score sheet with a line drawn through their name and “suspended” listed next to their name on the score sheet. Can access the suspended players via the MAHSHL site if needed.
This is ultimately up to the coaches but a good practice for those handling the score sheet.
Fill in all information regarding the date and start time of the game, rink location, etc.
Coaches signatures are required prior to the start of the game.
Officials signatures are required at the conclusion of the game.
There may be times where the refs will disappear with the score sheets if there are additional penalties to be handed down after a game.
Verify the jersey #’s are correct for penalties & goals
Verify goalie stats – universal understanding of SOG
Make sure everything is complete !!!
Please understand that what gets entered on the website stats is from the score sheets and if they are incomplete or wrong it takes longer to get them entered.
