On-line registration for Atlantic District Officiating Seminars for the 2005-2006 season is now open to returning officials only. Officials who were registered with USA Hockey last season may register at Level 2, 3, or 4 for any Atlantic District officiating seminar.

In order to register, visit the Seminars and Registration page, choose the seminar and registration level that you qualify for, and follow the instructions.

If you are a new official, you are required to register at Level 1. Seminar registrations for Level 1 officials will begin on Monday, July 11.

If you are a returning official and you want to register at Level 1 for the 2005-2006 season, you must wait until next Monday, July 11 to make your seminar selection.

The Atlantic District Officiating Program reserves the right to cancel seminar registrations for officials or officiating candidates who misuse the on-line seminar registration system.

If you have any questions, please refer to the Frequently Asked Questions section of the web site.
