Only the sixth for me Jan, but I know exactly what you mean.
One thing we do that helps a lot is typically the week before the season starts we do volunteer practicums at schools that want it - I think we have about a dozen this year. Our association requires participation, and it's a win-win - gives the officials a chance to get their heads back into the game while giving the players a chance to get a feel of the game with real officials a little ahead of time. We also take the opportunity to teach scorekeeping, etc. if they so request.
My practicum is tomorrow night, then I've got a varsity jamboree next Thurs. - regular season starts the 2nd.......
