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.
