Game Expectations Game Expectations Recommend to be at the game 20+ minutes prior to ice time. If you are running late, contact your partner and/or assigner. Get ready, get on the ice and go. If you did not get ahold of your partner and someone is on the ice replacing you, discuss with replacement. Rule of thumb is if they are there, you are off the that game and you will not be paid for it. Case-by-case if you are late to game 1 of multi-game set and/or official from prior game covered you for a few mins.
Game Expectations (contd) Game Expectations (cont d) Be LOW Maintenance Be the official the Assigner looks for, not the one he avoids. Update your Arbiter Blocks!!!!!
