How to Book a Referee or Advise of Game Changes
This page discusses:
- Booking a referee
- Changing an existing referee assignment
Booking a Referee for an Exhibition Game
- Find your arena in the table below.
- Contact the referee association for that arena at least 72 hours in advance (the earlier the better). You are looking for a person with the title HOUSE LEAGUE ASSIGNOR. They are usually listed on the Executive or Contact Us sections of their website. Note the special case below when practice ice was purchased by the CMHA.
- Determine exactly how payment is going to work ( ie. cash in two envelopes - one for each referee).
- Pay of the referees out of your team budget.
For Cumberland Referees:
- Call the Cumberland Referee Association Assignor,
Lucio Paiano 613-830-3105 and leave a message advising him:
- you would like to book / cancel a referee for a (NOVICE/ATOM/PEEWEE etc.. ) game on DATE, TIME at ARENA. Give your name and phone number and request a call back confirmation.
- To verify your request, you would go to http://www.cumberlandrefs.com
- Click Coaches and Team Managers link
- Enter the level and date and click SHOW. You should see a referee booked for your game.
- In the example below, a house league Peewee B referee has been booked for an exhibition game at Ray Friel #3 @ 2:30 on Oct.15 by team manager Gary Puppa.
Changing a Regular Season Game
Within the same referee association boundaries
Contact the referee association and let them know of the change. There is no cost and no payment required.
Moving the game from one referee association to another association
This a little more tricky. Following these steps:
- Advise your convenor you're doing this.
- Find the arenas in the table below.
- Cancel the referees for the original game by calling the appropriate referee association.
- Call the new referee association and book referees for the game.
- Determine exactly how payment is going to work ( ie. cash in two envelopes - one for each referee).
- Pay of the referees at the game. Create a receipt and have the referees sign it.
- Submit the receipt to your convenor and the CMHA will reimburse you.
Special Case - CMHA booked Ice at an Arena Outside Cumberland Referee Boundaries
If you have practice or game that was assigned to your team by the CMHA that is located at an arena outside the Cumberland Referee Association boundaries (see arena list below), then you would use the Cumberland Referee Association to work that game.
For example:
- You have a practice on Sunday at the Orleans Rec Centre with another Cumberland team that you are sharing the practice ice with.
- After discussing with the other coach, you want to use that practice as an exhibition game instead.
- Since the ice was purchased by the CMHA, you would use Cumberland Refs to work that game, even though that arean is located in the District 9 referee association boundaries.
Referee Association By Arena
The key point of this web page is that Referee associations, just like hockey associations have geographic boundaries. This means that if you book an exhibition game at Sandy Hill Arena, you have to call the District 6 Ref Association for a ref to work that game.
Below is the table showing which associations work the various arenas. (Updated Aug 2006).
