NORTH AMERICAN PROSPECTS HOCKEY LEAGUE – Mass Ice Hockey Officials

OFFICIATING PROGRAM | 2024 – 2025

The NAPHL Officiating Program (NOP), operated by the NAHL Officiating Department (NOD) in partnership with the MASS Hockey Officiating Program, is held in conjunction with the Massachusetts based NAPHL event and is designed to provide EDUCATION, EXPOSURE, and EXPERIENCE to officials with the purpose of:

Expand opportunities to officials of all ages to work games at the highest levels of youth hockey
Provide coaching and feedback that will allow officials to succeed at higher levels of officiating
Advance qualified candidates to positions within our NAHL Officiating Program at the Junior levels

The Massachusetts based event will be held in Marlborough, MA this coming November 15 – 17, 2024. If you would like to be considered for the Massachusetts based NAPHL Officiating Program for the upcoming season, please review the attached overview in full and CLICK HERE to apply online by September 30, 2024.

Space is limited for the event. Selection will be based on availability and the qualifications of each applicant in an effort to assign competent officiating staff to each game. A Show-of-Interest application DOES NOT guarantee assignment and the final Roster-of-Officials for each NAPHL event will be coordinated and approved by the NAHL Manager, Officiating in conjunction with the Massachusetts Referee-in-Chief.

If you have specific questions about the NAPHL Officiating Program, please reach out to Kendall Hanley, NAHL Manager of Officiating, by email at khanley@nahl.com.

If you have specific questions about the MASS Hockey Officiating Program, please reach out to Kevin Donovan, Massachusetts Referee-in-Chief, kdonovan@mahockey.org.
