General: Address who counts which team Decide when to do stick checks, who gets whom Decide how to communicate on stalling Who has whistle on Single Side out of bounds. Communicate penalties to partners. Know the time on the game clock: Before a quarter starts – should read 12:00 Once a quarter starts – it should start on the whistle On time-outs – it should stop when whistle blows On penalties – announce what time penalty will release 5/17/2014

2. 2 Reminders Hustle to get into the correct position and make the right calls. If a coach asks a question and you cannot stop to talk, let him know that youll be back and will speak with him when you have the chance. When you do engage the coach, listen first and then explain your call. If a coach is just commenting out loud, you may not need to respond. Use the 5-step ladder with coaches: Provide a verbal warning. Conduct, a technical foul, to take the ball away. Conduct, a 30 sec. technical foul, time serving. Unsportsmanlike Conduct (USC), 1 min., non-releasable. Second USC, 1+ min., non-releasable, coach ejected. Skip steps only when justified should flagrant misconduct occur. Remember SAO: Safety, Advantage/Disadvantage, and the Obvious. Do not create trouble for yourself or be too good of a referee; you are there to officiate the game, not to find penalties. Grant the timeout if the player had possession when timeout was called, even if it quickly comes loose. Count the field so neither team starts a man up or down by accident. If you point the wrong way or call the wrong color for possession, notify all of the correct call and give them time to get the right personnel on the field. Get the call right by talking with your partner. It may look sloppy to change an improper call, but it is always better to get it right. As always... review the rule book, scan the officiating forums, and consult with peers and mentors on any questions

7. 7 Pre-faceoff Bench and Single give not ready signal Bench ensures clock set, table ready, sub area clear before start of each period When ready, Single points toward goal he will cover After point from Single and when Bench is ready, Bench points toward goal he will cover After point from Bench, Face-off official starts face-off (Face-off official need not look at Single) Positions rotate clockwise to start each period The Referee takes all face-offs in overtime

8. 8 Face-off mechanics For the opening face-off of period: Bench lines up on bench-side wing line right of midfield Single lines up on the far-side wing line left of midfield Face-off lines up on the same side of the field as Single For other face-offs, Face-off official goes right if the goal was scored on the right and vice versa On the whistle, both Bench and Single take several steps toward their goals. Watch wing violation, face-off players, and restraining line If the ball moves toward Face-off officials goal, Single must cover that goal until he is verbally called off or until there is a turnover. Face-off official watches shooter & passer until he takes over goal. Single has 10 or 20 second count.

11. 11 Face-off violations Multiple whistles, Face-off official signals violation quickly New Lead heads for Goal Line Extended (GLE); Single may need to cover New Trail gets player to position, starts play quickly, then sweeps sub area Middies may sub during ensuing dead ball, but attack and defense are not released if foul is technical.

12. 12 Goal scored Lead runs to crease, signals goal for 2–3 seconds, watches defense, gets ball Single signals goal only if Lead doesnt see it Single watches for late hits/post-goal issues, moves into attack area, watches offense Trail also watches for late hits and monitors the both teams and the benches Lead gives ball to Single, then goes to the far side to become Single (not to the left as in two-man) Single becomes Face-off official, goes to the midline and does not step over; Face-off official holds up ball, puts it down, and stands over it until ready for face Trail becomes Bench, stays on same side of field, and clicks timer when Face-off official has ball at midfield.

16. 16 20-second timer mechanics Single has 20-second timer Trail has 4 second count, if any Trail and Single give reset signal Do a hand count for 4-second count Trail stays with the ball during clear When restarting count (play-on, double change of possession), give reset signal

17. 17 Trail sweeping sub area Trail stops at the first cone and watches subs in transition When contested subs are completed, Trail sweeps the box and jogs into the play Trail should take a position 5 yards above and 5 yards in from the corner of the attack area

25. 25 On and off officials The on official watches the ball and calls most fouls there (e.g., push, hold, slash, trip, illegal body check) The off official watches everything else (e.g., crease, interference, illegal screen) When player is in transition from one zone to another, whoever the player is moving toward is the on official.
