Advanced Development Program

This program has been created by the Development and Education team to grow and develop its members and the association. A limited number of members will be identified for the program to be exposed to advanced concepts and opportunities.  This program will cater to, but not be exclusive of, officials between the ages of 16-28. Officials must be willing to accept instruction, feedback, and constructive criticism and to learn high-level concepts and advanced officiating techniques.   
 
Early Season Tryout
Several early-season events will be used as tryouts to identify the officials who may be ready for this program.  These events may include:
  • AAA Labor Day Warmup
  • Marquette Varsity Tournament (September)
  • Other pre-season and early-season games
 
Program Elements
  • Exposure to advanced opportunities while being provided support and feedback
  • Advanced power skating and classroom sessions and clinics
  • Participation in Membership and Board meetings
  • Giving Back to the Association: Winterland Friendship Games, Mentor/Shadow Program, McKenna Scholarship Foundation, Seminars
  • Supervisions, Evaluations, Support Structure, Peer Review
 
Application
A limited number of officials will be invited to apply for this program. Selection process will consist of a written application, on-ice tryout during live game situations and an informal meeting with a member of the Development & Education team. Application for this program is by invitation only. 
 
Conclusion
We are looking for the right officials who are ready to take the next step in their officiating careers. This program will serve a dual purpose: to advance younger officials to higher levels of hockey within the USA Hockey Officiating Development Model, and further develop the core group of officials working the top local games.  As our current core group ages, there is important need to develop and retain our younger officials to be ready to carry the load of officiating our top local assignments.
