Work Within Your Existing Timetable

Our teacher is available to answer questions, clarify content and offer guidance through email, Zoom, phone as needed.

You will have the support of our DLS High School Facilitator and our Technical Support Team to help facilitate technical requirements and associated difficulties.

Available for All Saskatchewan Learners

The Good Spirit School Division will offer the Hockey Officiating 20L Course to learners across the province in both Semester 1 and 2. Students taking the course during Semester 1 will be enrolled in a 10-hour certification course during the second week of September. The cost of certification set by Hockey Canada is $100 for all students wanting certification. This fee must be paid directly to that entity. Students taking the course in Semester 2 will receive high school credit, however they will not receive certification as the deadlines will have passed.

Students within GSSD can take only the certification portion, the certification and credit course, or only the credit course. For students outside of GSSD, the tuition cost of the Hockey Officiating 20L course is $300 payable to the Good Spirit School Division.  This tuition is in addition to the certification cost mentioned above.

The Hockey Officiating 20L will be available through the Moodle platform. The course is designed for students to work at their own pace through the digitized modules. A Master Instructor will deliver the course through Zoom to all students enrolled.

Each week enrichment and intervention opportunities will exist through a synchronous format for students to participate in through Zoom. The sessions will involve a variety of guests who are or who previously were affiliated with the Saskatchewan Hockey Association, the Western Hockey League (WHL) as well as the National Hockey League (NHL) who are hockey officials, hockey players, trainers etc.

The Hockey Officiating 20L course has been approved through the Ministry of Education as a High School Credit. Likewise, the Saskatchewan Hockey Association has endorsed this class as an opportunity to “provide more in-depth discussion and understanding of the role of an official above the required hours of training that is implemented by Hockey Canada to be a certified official. We are excited of the possibilities that this course may expose new participants to officiating hockey and help with the development of those who have already been certified officials in past seasons.”

 – Trent Cey (SHA Manager, Officiating Development)
