15. Classification: UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED Manager s Game Day Arrange for the following off-ice officials/volunteers to help out during the game: Scorekeeper Timekeeper Penalty Box Two Locker Room Monitors (four if a second locker room for Girls is necessary) For home games, ensure scorekeeper has scoresheet with appropriate roster stickers and back stickers For away games, provide home team with roster and back stickers. Southern Maryland Sabres Team Manager UNCLASSIFIED Presentation Classification: UNCLASSIFIED

16. Classification: UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED Off-Ice Officials The off-ice officials will be responsible for securing the game rosters from each team prior to the start of the game. After the game, they will ensure the score sheet is properly completed and signed by the officials and will distribute a copy to each team, with the appropriate copy going to the league office. Another important role of the off-ice official is to monitor behavior in and around the area known as the penalty benches and scorer s bench When there are acts of disrespect either by the players, coaches or fans, it is the off-ice officials role to report this to the on-ice officials AT THE NEXT STOPPAGE of play. Southern Maryland Sabres Team Manager UNCLASSIFIED Presentation Classification: UNCLASSIFIED

17. Classification: UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED More roles The role of the off-ice official includes undivided attention to the game in progress. The game clock must be stopped and started at the appropriate times and special attention should be paid as to whether the clock is functioning properly. Goals, assists and penalties, as reported by the referee, must be recorded accurately and quickly in order to minimize unnecessary delays. Penalty expiration situations must also be handled smoothly and efficiently in order to create a fair playing environment. Southern Maryland Sabres Team Manager UNCLASSIFIED Presentation Classification: UNCLASSIFIED

18. Classification: UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED Tips to work with the ON ICE crew Establish a rapport with the officials before the game during warm- ups Let them know you are ready to assist them. Alert them if you have a new timekeeper or you anticipate any problems. Show respect at all times. Communicate with your officials. Avoid blowing the horn to get their attention. Remember, in many situations (except in cases where players leave the penalty bench prematurely), the on-ice official does not have the authority to stop play for a situation that can be addressed during the next normal stoppage. Patience, in this case, is a must for any off-ice official. Southern Maryland Sabres Team Manager UNCLASSIFIED Presentation Classification: UNCLASSIFIED

19. Classification: UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED More tips If a situation or explanation is unclear, don t hesitate to ask for clarification from the on-ice officials. The most common situations that tend to cause confusion are multiple penalty situations, delayed penalty situations and penalty termination as the result of a goal being scored Support your on-ice teammates by offering your version of any incident, only when asked. Report any misconduct in the penalty bench area at the next stoppage of play and be specific when describing the incident.
