The Gallatin Hockey Officials Association is looking to add more On Ice Officials. This is a great opportunity to stay involved with hockey, challenge yourself to learn more about the game, give back to the sport, and make a little bit of money in the process. Registration with USA Hockey must be complete by October 31st and certification must be complete by December 31st.
