RETURNING OFFICIALS
Surrey Minor Hockey would like to thank you for your work and patience during the 2020-2021 season.
It has been a season like no other and moving forward we are hoping for a normal return to playing and officiating Minor Hockey in Surrey and the surrounding communities.
If you are planning on returning for the 2021-2022 season, you will need to attend a BC Hockey on-line clinic in order to be certified to officiate. Any officials who do not certify will be able to officiate games up until December 31,2021. Game assignments will be given to officials that have recertified for the 2021-2022 season.
Please review the chart below as it lists the process for officials to get certified
BC hockey realizes that many officials who certified last season did not get an opportunity to officiate any games. This is why BC Hockey has come up with a new fee structure that addresses that situation.
Please refer to the chart below regarding fees for officials to recertify. These are only for those officials that were certified for the 2020-2021 Minor Hockey Season. The regular fee structure will apply to any officials not certified last season:
Development Sessions
Surrey Minor Hockey Officiating program will be conducting development sessions through out the 2021-2022 season.This will include weekly ice sessions as well as possibly some class room sessions. These sessions are mandotory for all new officials ot SMHA.
