I would like to thank you for being part of the SHA Officiating Team for the 2011-2012 hockey season.  It is our goal to provide the best possible officiating team for each game played in our province and with your commitment to excellence, we will strive to reach this goal.

We are excited about the upcoming season.  The executive has made plans in each zone to help you with development both through the clinic program and on ice supervision.  This year we will continue to build on our supervision program by implementing supervision coordinators to help make sure our staff is out helping you develop as an official.  If you would like to be supervised, please contact either your zone supervision coordinator or your zone coordinator. We also plan to target both our female and Sask Future Programs to identify those individuals who have an excellent attitude and the skill to work higher levels of hockey within their zones and the Branch.

I look forward to my role as the RIC for the SHA and hope that each of us continue to work hard to build on the excellent officiating program we have in our province.

Work hard, do your best and enjoy the experience in each game that you work this year.

Brad Howard
