The EMHA fully supports this new initiative and our officials.
What: Moving forward the Green Arm Band will be worn by officials who are of the age 18 years old and younger. The arm band says "NO REF, NO GAME" which we think says it all.
Why: The idea behind this is that OMHA is losing officials drastically every year. Maltreatment is often cited as the primary reason Officials are leaving our game.
The future of our game depends on Officials having a positive experience, as they continue their journey in hockey.
