League Governance & Officials Hub

Empowering the crews who keep ENHL hockey fair, fast, and safe

The ENHL’s officiating network blends global best practices with local context. Explore certification pathways, policy libraries, and the game-day resources our referees, scorekeepers, and compliance officers rely on every week.

Officiating standards - A shared blueprint for every ENHL crew

We invest in structured mentorship, regular clinics, and rigorous evaluation so officials can focus on instinct, confidence, and clear communication when the puck drops. These pillars guide every call we make.

  • Unified officiating philosophy. Every ENHL crew applies the same rule interpretations, positioning charts, and communication cues so players experience consistent game management in every arena.
  • Continuous evaluation & feedback. Referees and scorekeepers log post-game reports within 24 hours. Supervisors review footage, annotate key moments, and share coaching clips through the Officials Portal.
  • Player safety first. Head contact protocols, concussion spotter reports, and emergency response checklists are rehearsed pre-season and refreshed monthly.

Certification - Clear steps from first whistle to international assignments

Every level builds confidence, introduces new leadership responsibilities, and expands your knowledge of ENHL policies. Officials graduate when they demonstrate mastery in live games and complete peer evaluations.
