NEW HAMPSHIRE ICE HOCKEY OFFICIALS ASSOCIATION INC.

Thank you for your interest in the New Hampshire Chapter of NIHOA. This letter describes the process for becoming a member in the organization. The New Hampshire Ice Hockey Officials Association officiates boys and girls high school and prep school varsity and junior varsity games in New Hampshire. Some members also work college games for the ECAC, Hockey East and other college leagues. The average member works about 35 games. An apprentice member will be assigned to work 15-20 games during the season. Most apprentices spend a few years before becoming full members although this is highly dependent on skills, experience level and chapter demand. To become an apprentice member, an applicant must fill out an application form (available by clicking here in <Word> or <Adobe PDF> format), send a resume of hockey experiences (playing and officiating), and supply two (2) letters of recommendation, from someone involved in hockey, along with a check for $25.00 payable to "NIHOA-NH" to the Treasurer. The applicant will then be invited to take a written exam on the NCAA rules, passing with an 85% grade or better and pass a skating exam. Upon successful completion of these items, the applicant will attend the annual mandatory fall meeting for all members and possibly officiate some High School exhibition games as a final test to show some previous experience. If all is satisfactory, there is a $40.00 registration fee for dues and insurance before games are assigned for the season. The testing process takes place in mid October. If you are interested, fill out the form and return it along with your testing fee. New rule books and meeting dates are available in early September, so this application process should be near completion at that time. Thank you for your interest and if you have any more questions, call the Treasurer/Assignor at (603) 485-5424 between 10:00 AM. and 8:00 PM. |
