Officials Resources

All officials regardless of level...

• MUST have a USA Hockey Profile to register for a seminar in USA Hockey Courses. Please make sure you can access your Profile. If you have Profile issues, contact USA Hockey Member Services - WHOA cannot assist you with Profile issues.
• MUST complete SafeSport training (if 2008 Birth Year, or older)
• MUST complete and maintain a USA Hockey sanctioned criminal Background Screen if 18(+) years old on May 1, 2025. If applicable, please register for this Background Screen during your initial registration process ensuring timely completion.
• MUST attend and complete a virtual classroom to receive USA Hockey seminar credit. "Attend and complete" means you must arrive on time and remain at/in the seminar until dismissed by staff. You cannot leave early for any reason (e.g. to go to practice, a game, or ref a game). You must be engaged in the seminar in an educationally friendly environment with your face visible at all times. Compliance is determined solely at the discretion of seminar staff.
• All seminars (Level 1-4) will be 3.5 hours in length.
• Officials must register with WHOA to officiate WAHA sanctioned games. If you have a WI address, you will pay your $12.00 WHOA when registering with USA Hockey. This rule applies to ALL officials regardless of where they attend their virtual seminar. Level 2-4 officials wishing to officiate state play-off and/or state tournament games must register with WHOA before 11:59 PM 12/31/25.
