NEVADA ICE
HOCKEY OFFICIALS ASSOCIATION

EVALUATION PROGRAM

On-ice evaluation is designed to enhance the development of officials through useful feedback. The game of ice hockey changes so quickly that attendance at an annual seminar at the beginning of the season is no longer adequate for the average official. Thus, follow-up education is essential in establishing a strong core of officials. The program is designed to provide instructional follow-up which reinforces materials presented at USA Seminars, improve the overall quality of local officiating, develop more consistent officiating standards in terms of rule interpretation and enforcement, positioning and techniques, and identify candidates for advanced training and higher level competition.
