On-Ice Mentor Program for Hockey Officials

CIHRA, in accordance with USA Hockey, has implemented an On-Ice Mentoring Program for the assistance and development of our new on-ice Officials. The program is designed to help first and second year Officials learn and enjoy the responsibilities that come with being an Ice Hockey Official.

The Mentoring process will provide veteran officials to act as shadows for the newer officials, while on the ice.  The mentor will focus on positioning, skating, proper technique, etc.  The mentor will only become involved in the game when absolutely necessary. 

We are focusing this program on seven arenas – Promenade, The Edge, Family Sports, Big Bear, South Suburban, The Ice Ranch, and DU.  However, if you would like to be mentored at an arena not listed, we will do our best to accommodate that request.

If you would like to be mentored, please contact the scheduler at the arena which you would like to be mentored at, or contact the Lead Mentor at the arena which you would like to be mentored at. You may also request a mentor by selecting the “Request a Mentor” tab on CIHRA’s web site. If you have any questions about the program, please feel free to contact the Mentor Program Coordinators.
