Hockey Nova Scotia Officiating

Development Programs

The Hockey Nova Scotia Officiating Program invites officials

(MALE and FEMALE) to participate in the 2010 HNS Officiating Development Camps. The intent of these camps is to enhance the officiating program and to provide some off-season instruction to keen, talented officials.

The camps will provide HNS Officiating Staff opportunities to scout prospective young officials for spots in the Atlantic Challenge Cup Tournament, the Hockey Canada Officiating Program of Excellence (OPOE) or those who may be capable of working higher levels of hockey in the future.  These development experiences will benefit officials throughout the 2010/11 season.

Program of Excellence

The Atlantic Program of Excellence Hockey Championship serves to prepare players, coaches, team staff members and officials for competition in International play, including the World Under 17 Hockey Challenge and the Canadian National Teams.   HNS submits names of the most promising officials to Hockey Canada to work this prestigious event.

Atlantic Challenge Cup

The Atlantic Challenge Cup regroups the best players from the Atlantic Hockey provinces in an annual best on best competition. Each province sends its best players at each age category which creates tremendous interest among scouts and various leagues around North America.  HNS officiating sends a team of approximately 3 male and 3 female officials to work this great event.
