February 19 - 25, 2024, marks USA Hockey's "Hockey Week Across America" celebration. As a part of this celebration, the USA Hockey Officiating Program will collaborate with the American-based National Hockey League clubs to host our "Meet the NHL Officials" program.
This year, young grassroots officials will be selected to attend an NHL game and meet the officials in their dressing room before the puck is dropped. During the meeting, these developing officials will have the opportunity to ask questions and learn what it takes to work the highest levels of our game, and the NHL officials will have a brief reminder of the grassroots hockey community from where they came from.
2024 NOMINATIONS
Nominations will close after Monday, December 4, 2023.
"For the boys to have a chance to meet the NHL officials and ask questions was great. It's nice to hear that they started the same way as Jack and Hunter did, and through love and passion for the game, its become a career."
