USA Hockey National Incident Report System

The role of the Official is to enforce all playing rules at all times and they are expected to strictly enforce playing rules that fall under the aggressive infraction category. Players and coaches must be held accountable for dangerous actions and the onus is on them to teach and play the game within the rules. Officials are required to submit a game report immediately following the game for any major penalty falling in the aggressive infraction category, game misconduct or match penalty that is assessed. Any match penalty assessed must be reported via written game report by the officials to the USA Hockey District Referee-in-Chief within 48 hours.
