So you thought that wearing the stripes might be fun, or hard work, or frustrating, or the best seat in the house, or a good way to get some extra ice time, a good part-time job, a possible career, or perhaps something else entirely. The fact is, you’d be right on all counts. These are all valid reasons for wanting to serve as a referee, and here at Detroit Lakes Youth Hockey, we have a solid core of experienced officials who can help you get started. While it is a fact that we are all still learning, not all learning needs to be the hard way. To that end, our Mentor Program provides a senior official for you to follow on the ice and to then follow you for the first few games to work on positioning, seeing the ice, making calls, dealing with questions, working with your partner, and all the other things that we are constantly seeking to improve.
If this sounds like a good thing to you, there are a few steps to take to get started.
1. Go to Usahockey.com and click on the Become a Member button. You have probably done this as a player, but
you will need to do it again as an official.
2. Complete the registration process (your registration fee gets reimbursed with the first game you officiate!) and then
sign up for a Level One seminar. Our local seminar is on the 18th of Sept, so sign up sooner rather than later.
Space is limited.
3. Get a whistle! Not a basketball whistle. The Acme Thunder and Fox 40 are favorites with hockey officials.
OfficialsWearhouse.com carries them.
4. We have helmet/shield combos and sweaters for you to borrow until you decide you need your own.
5. Black pants are required. Can be warm-up pants or sweat pants. Shin pads and a cup (for males) are highly
recommended. Elbow pads might also be a good thing.

Congratulations!
You’re a part of the hardest working team on the ice!
