Level 2+ Referees - You will be scheduled as “fill in only where needed" at the community level, as CZRC has plenty of ice times available for you. However, we really appreciate your availability to be on-ice with the younger referees who need the time with experienced officials to learn the ropes! This means that we still want you to sign up, but you may not get as much ice time from us.
