The Supervision Program is a vital program that helps the development of officials in our Region. Supervisions are a key developmental for young and old officials alike, and you never too old to learn something new from a supervision. For information on the role of the Supervisor, your role as an official being supervised, how to get the best out of a supervisor, and FAQs check the Supervisions page on the Hockey Alberta Officials website:

SUPERVISIONS >

Each senior program official in the Region must conduct 12 supervisions. The first nine supervisions must be submitted by December 18 to get on the January schedule and the remaining three supervisions submitted by January 15 to be eligible for playoffs. Supervisions may be conducted on any level of hockey but the focus is on Level 1 and 2, and inexperienced Level 3, officials. Therefore, nine of the 12 supervisions are to be done on Level 1 and 2 officials.  

The only way supervisions will be accepted is through the online Supervision Form:
