Referee School: (Pre-Register Through Don Shropshall)

Central Huron Community Complex, 239 Bill Fleming Drive, Clinton, ON
Please forward this information onto your Referee Assignors and anyone who are interested in Refereeing for the upcoming hockey season.
If game officials are getting a VSC then they need to fill out the first form and submit it with their request for a police check. I did mine on June 1st and have spoke with them twice and was advised that it will be the end of July before I get it. If game officials are looking at the school and are 18 years, they must have the police check filed with the OHF before they will allow to register for the clinic or if they are wanting to attend the school they have to have it in place with the OHF before they can do the introduction to referee course since the OHF if in control of it. They will have to do the Declaration Form & submit it with the VSC which is the second form. The third form is the direct link to the OHF to submit the VSC and Declaration form.
Presently there is only 7 people that have registered for the Referee School, found from Kincardine, two from Saugeen Shore & one from Mid Huron.
