Send a message via AIM to PAT THE REF
Unhappy

Hello everyone,
My name is Pat. I am an official for Basketball & Baseball. I was approached by a certian high school of my sons and they would like me to set up a floor hockey league. I loved playing hockey in high school (in P.E. class) and I agreed. I downloaded the NCAA Ice Hockey rules & the Floor Hockey rules but i need some help.

Is there any websites that help teach how to officiate Hockey? (Pref. Floor Hockey)

Any tips for me?

Thanks

Unfortunatly, the web is light on instructional sites (especially floor hockey).

The NCAA ice book has a great section on positioning which may help you out somewhat.

The IIHF makes available its rulebook, casebook and procedures manual (www.iihf.com) - that might be the most complete set of instructional material on the web in terms of rules, interpretations and procedural stuff (how to call a penalty, positioning during the game, etc.)

Other than that, hockeyrefs.com is probably the most well-known hockey refs site on the web, but its light on instructional material.

Hi Pat,

I'd recommend actually finding a USA Hockey referee seminar. Let them know exactly what you are doing and inform them that you would just like to learn to officiate a form of hockey so that you can use the knowledge and apply it to a floor hockey league. If they aren't receptive, they aren't doing what they should to increase the visibility and interest in hockey as a sport overall.

In addition, you should be able to purchase Official's Manuals directly from USA Hockey. They're free to registered officials, but only one copy. ;o) I'd recommend using USA Hockey rules rather than NCAA rules, unless you can get a copy of the NFHS rules.

http://www.nfhs.com

Let me know how things go for you. What part of the country are you located?

-Craig

For any hockey officiating tips log on to the Canadian Hockey Association's website at http://www.hockeycanada.ca
It has the most comprehensive references available for officials, and links to other helpful stuff.
