End Zone Positioning
Northern Ontario Hockey Association
New Procedure – Hockey Canada
 Hockey Canada has introduced a new end zone
positioning procedure for the Referee or lead Official in
the two Referee system; this system is called the cone
as shown in the illustration below
The Cone
 Although the cone area is below the goal line at
certain points, the Referee is encouraged to stay at or
above the goal line as much as possible.
 The piston is still used, however, officials will be given
a wider range and will be allowed to float. The referee
in the 3 man system must adapt and not always go
deep getting trapped in the corner and not able to
follow the play.
 This is to prevent officials from going to high or not
getting to the net and in position.

 Anywhere around the net that gives
the official the best view to see if the
puck goes over the goal line
 Closer to the net than half piston
 Ideally at the corner of the net 2-3

 Never switch sides or cross over to
other side during play

End Zone Maneuvers
The Bump
 Move along the boards from Home Base, in either
direction, to stay out of the play
 “Bump” no further than top of circle or goal line
The Pivot
 Used to maintain position while allowing play to pass
quickly behind
 Step off boards as play approaches enough to allow
play to pass behind
 As play passes, pivot to keep the play in sight and
back to the boards, then move back to Home Base

The maneuver that is used when the player comes
around the board in the direction of the Referee
standing at home base is the slide step.
The three positions in the piston system are “at the
net”, “on boards” and “at the face-off dot”
The area located between home base and the
nearest goal post, inline with the face-off dot is
called “half piston”
The pivot consists of taking a stride out away from
the boards, crossing under and waiting for the play
to move up ice
There are three maneuvers and two positions in
end zone positioning

Multiple Choice – Page 107
When the Referee is “at the net” and play
moves to his/her side of the ice, what
must the Referee do:
a) Skate backwards quickly to home base to
avoid being caught in the play
b) Take a couple of strides, then coast to see
how the play is developing
c) Wait “at the net” for play to develop and
then move
d) Turn, skate forwards to the boards and
then assume the home base position
