LaSalle Minor Hockey Association will be hosting a referee tryout on June 5, 2022 at 2:00pm on Rink B at the Vollmer Recreation Complex.
The tryout will consist of an hour on-ice skating portion which will be followed by an off-ice OMHA sample written multiple choice test.
Material will be based on the OMHA rule book that can be found of the OMHA website under the referee tab in the resource section where there are sample tests included within.
