USA Hockey Provides Web-based Way to Check Officiating Status
Tony Mariconda asked that the following announcement be posted on AAHArefs:
With the help of our Internet Communications Department, the USA Hockey Officiating Department is happy to launch the new Official Status feature at www.usahockey.com. This feature will offer our 28,000 registered officials the opportunity to review their current registration status with USA Hockey.
The feature will replace the automated telephone menu-system. The telephone system will no longer be in service after Friday, February 5, 2010.
If you live in a state that used the USA Hockey Online Seminar Registration Tool this past fall you already have the necessary USAHockey.com profile to access your information. If you do not have a USAHockey.com profile, the process is very simple and will take less than five minutes to complete. To create a profile and access your information:
- Go to www.usahockey.com and click the "Create Profile" link at the top of the page next to the search engine.
- Follow the instructions and enter the required data-fields to set-up your profile.
- After your profile is created and saved, click the "Official Status" link at the top of the website (where the "Create Profile" link previously was) and you will be lead to your USA Hockey Officiating Program Registration information.
- This webpage will provide valuable information to all our officials as they complete their registration each season. The webpage is designed to display your USA Hockey Officiating Number, Registration History, Seminar Attendance Information, and Exam Results.

USA Hockey's announcement continues:
If your registration information on the status page is incorrect or does not appear, please verify your personal information (name, zip code, birth date) and make any necessary corrections by clicking the "Update Profile" link above the information box. If your personal information is correct, but you still do not see the correct Officials Status, please contact us at RefHistory@usahockey.org.
Important note: Due to Federal (COPPA) Laws, no USA Hockey member (player or official) who is under 13 years of age is permitted to create a USAHockey.com profile. We're sorry that this feature excludes a small part of our membership, however all Registration inquires for our officials who are 12 or younger may still be answered by contacting your USA Hockey District Referee-in-Chief or the National Office.
Important note: Creating a USAHockey.com profile is not equivalent to registering with USA Hockey. While your USAHockey.com profile will remain active and unchanged year after year, all USA Hockey Officials must complete online registration, attend a seminar, and complete all required examinations annually to renew their membership and remain eligible to work assignments.
Needless to say we're excited about this new feature. The ease of use and accessibility of this feature should allow our membership to keep track of their status as they complete the steps of registration each season. We hope at some point over the next few weeks you will create a USAHockey.com profile and familiarize yourself with the webpage to prepare for next season.
