You will find the local officiating seminar schedules for MAHA listed below.

All officials are required to attend an ice and classroom seminar conducted by USA Hockey in order to complete registration requirements. It is the responsibility of the official to find out where and when the seminar will be held. As a rule, USA Hockey seminars last a full day. Please clear your schedule from early morning through the dinner hour on the date you plan to attend. For all ice sessions, full officiating gear is required, so bring your equipment bag (a helment is mandatory). You may attend any of these seminars for credit toward mandatory seminar attendance. Be sure that you sign the USA Hockey Attendance form at the seminar. Be sure to bring a notepad and pencil. Take lots of notes!!

Submissions Deadline for Playing Rule Change Proposals set for Nov. 1, 2010

Members of USA Hockey who wish to submit a playing rule change proposal for consideration by the USA Hockey Board of Directors at the 2011 Annual Congress must do so prior to November 1, 2010.  All proposals must be submitted in writing to the USA Hockey national office and must include the specific wording of the proposed change, addition or deletion.  Playing rule change proposal forms can be obtained byclicking here, through your District Director, Affiliate President or other USA Hockey appointed district personnel.  You may also submit your proposal via e-mail by forwarding your proposal, on the proper form, to:MattL@usahockey.org 

After preliminary review of each proposal by the Playing Rules Committee, the proposals will be sent to the appropriate committee or council for their recommendations.  The Playing Rules Committee will meet during the USA Hockey Annual Congress in an open forum where USA Hockey members have a chance to voice their opinion on each proposal.  At this time, the Playing Rules Committee will also make their final recommendations to the USA Hockey Board of Directors for their approval during their annual meeting.  Those proposals that are accepted will be incorporated in the Official Playing Rules and will be in effect for the 2011-12 and 2012-13 seasons.
