Become a Cadet

 We are continually seeking experienced Ice Hockey Officials interested in joining our Cadet Program. This program is designed to give newer officials the opportunity to work Junior Varsity high school games in NJ while developing the skills and confidence needed to advance within our program. Participants gain valuable on-ice experience and receive structured support to help build the foundation necessary to improve their on-ice skills.

  • Applicants must be at least 18 years of age and no longer enrolled in High School.
  • Applicants must consent to a background check each year during the registration process in accordance with NJSIAA requirements.
  • Applicants must have experience as an on-ice hockey official.

Currently, the Cadet Program is offered only to individuals with prior Ice Hockey officiating experience. If you are looking to become an ice hockey official, please visit USA Hockey for more information.
