The Ontario Hockey Federation is proud to introduce the Officiating Development Series, a new education initiative running from January - March 2026. Designed to support officials at every stage of their journey, this free virtual series delivers fresh thinking, practical learning, and collaborative discussion focused on the evolving demands of officiating the game.
This new series brings together voices from across the OHF’s four Minor Member Partners — GTHL, OMHA, NOHA, and ALLIANCE Hockey — each sharing real experiences, practical insights, and perspectives from the ice. The focus is simple: help officials feel more confident, more prepared, and more supported at every stage of their officiating journey.
Whether you’re officiating your first game or have years of experience behind you, these sessions are designed to be relatable, engaging, and immediately useful. Topics range from managing high-pressure situations and interpreting complex calls, to strengthening communication skills and building mental resilience both on and off the ice.
From all of us at the NOHA, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!. It's a time to rest, reflect, and cherish the family and friends around you.
We're truly grateful for all the joy that hockey brings into our lives, and wish you a safe and warm holiday break.
Please note: the NOHA Office will be closed from December 19th to January 4th, re-opening January 5th. If you have an urgent situation, please send an email to noha@noha-hockey.ca as we will be monitoring this email over the break.
Hockey Canada is proud to launch Rise as One — a national movement that unites our entire hockey community, from local rinks to the Olympic stage. Together, we celebrate every player, coach, official, volunteer and fan who continues to push our game forward.
A key element of this movement is our Rise as One Sticker Program, designed to spark pride and connection across the country. Each association receives the opportunity to order stickers (at no cost) for girls to proudly place on their helmets, water bottles etc., — the very same mark worn by our National Women’s Team. It’s a powerful symbol that the stars of today all started where they are: in our community programs, with coaches and teammates who believed in them.
Please see the below document from Hockey Canada with more information on how to order stickers for your teams.
