Referees

Team Managers, please confirm officials are present 15-minutes prior to the start of your game.

What do I do if no referees show up to our game?

Phone or text Natalie Williams at 780-719-6810 so she can contact the referee assignors.
If the game start time has commenced, recruit a mutually agreed upon coach from each team to referee. One coach will suffice if that is all you can manage.

EFHL/NAHL/REMHL League Games:
SMHA will automatically schedule officials for all scheduled league games. Referee rates for EFHL league games are different than exhibition games as they are negotiated by Hockey Edmonton. NAHL & REMHL rates are the same as exhibition games (Hockey Alberta rates). Should there be any game changes, the ice/referee allocators must be contacted immediately. Re-scheduling of games is subject to ice and referee availability.

Teams are expected to have cash for referees at all games and request a receipt for SMHA records. Teams will be issued an advance payment for referee costs associated with league games.

You must receive confirmation from the Ice and Referee Allocators prior to accepting game changes.

Clinic and Rate information
Referee Clinics are available.
