The Next Shift initiative is a collaborative effort between the North American Hockey League (NAHL) and the USA Hockey Officiating Program to recruit, develop, and advance brand
NEW on-ice officials. The initiative is being implemented to target former hockey players who have a passion for the game and incentivize them to take their next shift as a new on-ice official. Many former players have remained involved in the game as on-ice officials following their playing careers and have advanced into the junior, collegiate, international, and professional levels of hockey.

If selected to participate, you will receive additional details on the initiative confirmation process, important dates and other relevant information.
