Opportunities Start With the Drop of a Puck
Regardless of your background, if you have a passion for the game of hockey, we encourage you to consider officiating.
For those that have played and reached a point where opportunities to advance have ended, officiating can really help fill the void that was experienced as a player being up close and right in the action.
For those who love hockey and are looking for opportunities to make some extra money, the flexibility officiating can really help as well.
Officiating also provides an opportunity to give back to the local hockey community that we all love. Reliable and dedicated officials are vital to a thriving youth program that our kids deserve.
For those looking to advance to higher levels, there is no end to where officiating can take you. Officials working in Bozeman with the Gallatin Hockey Officials Association have gone on to work National Tournaments, IIHF, NCAA, The Frozen 4, ECHL , USHL, and more.
