PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:
I have read and understand the BLOMHA Referee policies and the Alliance Referee Policies and Code of Conduct. I agree to adhere to these policies and accept that disciplinary action may be imposed for failing to follow policies. Disciplinary action may include fines, suspension and/or dismissal.
I acknowledge that as an official for BLOMHA, I am not an “employee” of BLOMHA but I provide my services on a freelance basis.
Injury insurance is provided by Hockey Canada, not BLOMHA. I understand that HC injury insurance is supplemental insurance for costs that exceed what is covered by OHIP and my personal insurance policies. Any and all claims are administered by Hockey Canada
I agree that BLOMHA, its Board of Directors, Officiating Committee, the Referee-in-Chief(s) and/or Referee Assigner will not be financially responsible for injuries incurred while officiating in games assigned by BLOMHA.
I am aware that regular meetings take place that communicate special rules, announcements, procedures and training for officials. I agree to attend these meetings on a regular basis.
I understand that a condition of receiving assignments is my availability and I am required to make my services available for a reasonable amount of time each month when BLOMHA games are taking place.
I understand that I may be required to officiate games early Saturday/Sunday mornings (as early as 7:00 am) on a regular basis and my refusal to do such games may result in disciplinary action up to and including dismissal.
I understand that games assigned to me during times that I declared as “available” and/or games accepted by me are my responsibility. I accept that excessive cancellations of my assignments may result in disciplinary action up to and including dismissal.

Applications for new Officials to BLOMHA will be accepted until August 31, 2024.
