Equipment Loan Program
MIHOA offers an equipment loan program for first-year Level 1 officials, under 18 years old. The goal of the program is to reduce the initial expense of officiating ice hockey. In order to be eligible, you must be a first-year, USA Hockey Level 1 official who is registered to attend a training seminar and who is under 18 years old.
The program includes a helmet with visor, a jersey, and a whistle. You will need to provide $125 cash, or a check written out to "MIHOA". If you choose to continue with officiating after the completion of the 2025-2026 season, you keep the equipment, and we will cash the check. If you decide not to continue with officiating, we will collect the equipment in the spring of 2026, and your check or cash will be returned to you. There are three dates where loan will be available, I am hoping to add two more in the coming days.
Registration for the skate is not mandatory to participate in the equipment loan program.
Please use the Google form link below to register for the program. While not mandatory, it does speed up the process.
