ORDER OF MERIT

At the Hockey Canada’s Annual General Meeting in 1960, approval was given to the institution of annual "Hockey Canada Meritorious Awards" to honor those individuals who for many years have served amateur hockey faithfully, having participated as players, served as coaches and association members, and made outstand­ing contributions to Canadian amateur hockey. The first such awards were made in January and May of 1962.

Award winners will have their names placed on a Roll of Honor and become members of Hockey Canada Order of Merit.

The Roll of Honor will be located at a suitable site in the Hockey Hall of Fame.

The Hockey Canada Officiating Branch Awards are presented annually to the Most Promising, Most Improved and Most Deserving Official in the Branch. The guidelines established for these awards are as follows:

(1):         Most Promising: A young official in their first, second or third year of officiating as being the best rookie.

(2):         Most Improved:  The official who has shown the most improvement within their officiating caliber of hockey. This is not necessarily the best official but the one who has progressed the most through their attendance at clinics, seminars and on-ice efforts.

(3):        Most Deserving:   The official who is rated on their own officiating skills and what they put back into the Branch/Division.
