After the Game

Finish the job properly and get better every game.

Rules come first. Current PCAHA and Hockey Canada rules always take priority over this guide. If in doubt, follow your mentor.
1

Final whistle

Signal the end of the game and stay on the ice until the players have left. Watch for anything unsafe in the handshake line.

2

Leave together

Leave the ice with your partner, not one at a time.

3

Game sheet

Review the goals and penalties on the game sheet with the timekeeper, then sign it. Incident reports should be rare. If you need one, record it in Spordle as normal and email Jeff or Ryan for next steps.

4

Debrief with your mentor

If a mentor was on the ice with you, ask for their feedback. Then ask yourself and your partner:

  • One thing that went well
  • One thing to work on next game
5

Bring questions back

Note anything you were unsure of and ask your mentor, or email Jeff, before your next assignment.

6

Check Spordle

Request your next games, and accept any new assignments.

Remember

One win, one thing to improve. That is how good officials get better.
