The 2024-25 OMHA HCOP Recertification is now CLOSED.

This year all registration will be completed online as in the past.

For the 2024-2025 season, all OMHA Minor Hockey Officials will be required to complete the Online Learning Modules/Rule Examination and attend an In-Person clinic.

Please note that registration for the In-Person Recertification clinics will Close 7 days prior, unless the clinic is already Full (Sold Out).

Completion of the registration process is required before an Official can accept any assignments for the current playing season. Failure to execute these steps will violate OMHA Regulation 18.1(a). This will mean that the Official will be considered to be “not in good standing”, and may be subject to further discipline.

The Respect in Sport training for Activity Leaders or Officials is a requirement in the OMHA for officials that have not already completed the training. Any official who has not taken either of this training MUST complete the New Respect in Sport for Officials prior to attending a Clinic. 

If you did not receive the Recertification email please fill out the form below.
