neutral zone
 If you are in path of players and puck is in neutral
zone, move towards your blue line
 Never climb boards as it will leave you out of position
and puts you in vulnerable position
 Should always be at, or just inside the blueline prior
to the puck and players
 When you are front official, must be at centre red line
as puck approaches to effectively call icings
 As the back official watch for fouls in front of the net;

Face-Off Zone Changes
 Once official (R2) has taken his position
after centre ice face-off, he is responsible
for face-offs and positioning in that half of
the ice, R1 is responsible for other half
 Officials maintain responsibility for face-offs
until one of the following situations arise:
 Penalty is assessed
 Any neutral zone face-off (start of period, after
goal, off-side, hand pass, etc.)

Common Faults and Tips
 Failure of the official responsible for attacking
zone to leave zone quickly in pursuit of play
 When stoppage in play at the net, move to At the
Net position immediately to reduce conflict
between players; presence and communication
will act as deterrent for altercations after the
whistle
 If puck carrier is attacking player hold position a
little longer as they will normally go to the net and
you can follow
 If puck carrier is defending player, retreat to home
base as play generally goes up the boards

Penalties can be assessed by either Referee anywhere
on the ice.
When the puck is dropped at centre ice, the official
not dropping the puck goes the direction of the puck
to ensure someone is at the blue line for a potential
off-side.
For neutral ice face-offs, the official not dropping the
puck should hold the line for his partner until he is in
position.
When a goal is scored the front linesman will signal
the goal and report it the scorekeeper. The other
official will retrieve the puck and go to the centre to
conduct the face-off.
When a penalty is being assessed, the official will
assess the penalty and report it to the scorekeeper.
The other official will retrieve the puck for his partner
and give it to him to conduct the face-off upon
returning to the position.
