USA Hockey Officiating Development Camps

USA Hockey Officiating Development Camps are structured to provide officials with the education and tools necessary to progress in their officiating careers, whether their aspirations are at the grassroots, professional, collegiate, or international levels. These camps offer tailored coaching, mentorship, and both on and off ice instruction to help participants develop and refine their skills in areas such as game management, rule application, positioning, communication and more.

Each camp is designed to meet officials where they are in their development journey, from development at Futures Camp to more experienced officials seeking advancement through USA Hockey National Officiating camps/programs. Officials receive personalized feedback from experienced instructors, giving them the opportunity to build confidence on and off the ice.

In addition to on-ice training, camps focus on off-ice aspects critical to an official’s growth, such as physical conditioning, nutrition, mental toughness, and professional conduct. These camps help officials understand the broader expectations of officiating at various levels, providing the knowledge and connections to reach their career goals, whether officiating local youth games or pursuing opportunities at the highest levels of hockey.
