Hockey Night in Canada's Play On is looking for officials!

June 8, 2015

Hockey Night in Canada's Play On! is the Official Canadian Street Hockey Tournament, and Canada's Largest Sports Festival. With street hockey tournament divisions for both genders, all ages, and all skill levels, the program was designed to celebrate both hockey and Canadian culture. Now entering its 10th year in Calgary on June 13-14 at CrossIron Mills, we need you to help us make the best one yet!

Officials are Game Managers who are vital to ensure that each event runs smoothly. Officials make sure all participants and spectators are having fun and a fair in-game experience.

You do not need to be a certified ice or ball hockey official to referee at a Hockey Night in Canada's Play On! event. We welcome organizations, individuals, former officials, new officials and other sports lovers just interested in being involved as a referee at such a large sporting event.

The Calgary event requires over 80 referees!

Hockey Night in Canada's Play On! events celebrate the game of hockey in its most basic and culturally significant form, and have very simple rules!

The compensation for officiating in 2015 will be:

-          $7/game (games are 30 minutes, two 15 minute halves)

-          A commemorative Play On! hat, value $30

-          A commemorative Play On! t-shirt, value $20

-          A commemorative Hockey Night in Canada whistle, value $8.25

-          A PowerAde water bottle, value $10, with access to unlimited sport drink / other beverages throughout the weekend

-          Complimentary meals from Brooklyn Pizzeria & Taps (should you work through lunch and dinner) and treats (ice cream and mini donuts)                                   

Each Official must:
- Be at least 16 years of age;
- Have great communication skills;
- Be able to exercise good judgment at all times; and 
- Be able and willing to be on your feet for an extended amount of time

All officials must also attend the Hockey Night in Canada's Play On! referee training in the evening of Thursday June 11th before participating in this event.
