Mission Statement
East Coast Officiating is an assigning and training service partnered with Referee’s Crease to produce the best officials in the country. Our goal is to create a pool of Officials by recruiting, training, and advancing officials to higher levels of officiating, through a comprehensive free training program.

We are asking you to commit to a 90 minute class and a couple of ice sessions, either once a month or every other month, to learn how to deal with situations that arise in a hockey game.
