🚨 REFEREES WANTED – SOUTH CENTRAL ALBERTA INLINE HOCKEY 🏒

Skates? Check. Whistle? Check. Confidence? We’ve got you covered.

South Central Alberta Inline is actively recruiting roller hockey referees for the 2026 season. We are fully committed to developing, supporting, and empowering our officials at every stage of their journey.

If you referee ice hockey in the winter, this is your off-season opportunity. Roller hockey is the closest thing to ice hockey you can officiate without the Zamboni. Same reads. Same positioning. Same game flow. Just wheels instead of blades.

🟢 A Program Built on Respect

We proudly support the Green Arm Band Initiative. Respect for officials is not optional in our league. The green armband represents mentorship, development, and a safe environment for learning.

We stand behind our officials with real structure, real communication, and real support.

Officiating is not just a role. It is leadership in motion.

🦓 OFFICIALS DEVELOPMENT 2026

In 2026, officials development sits at the very top of our priorities. Strong programs are built on strong officiating, and we are committed to building confident, capable officials who love the game as much as the players do.

Our Executive recognizes that every official enters at a different stage. Some are stepping onto the floor for the first time. Others are refining advanced mechanics and leadership skills. Wherever you are in your pathway, you will have mentorship, structure, and meaningful guidance behind you.
