Hockey Alberta announced Monday the 12 officials that will represent their zones at the 2013 ATB Alberta Cup set for April 25-28 in Strathmore, Alberta as well as officials selected to participate in national and regional championships.

David Westwood – Lacombe Darion Hippe – Blackfalds Prezemek Iwaniec – Calgary Michael Stinn – Calgary Jordan Sciarra – Lethbridge Marcus Gerow – Medicine Hat

 

The ATB Alberta Cup is the second stage in the Provincial Officiating Development Program. Each one of the selected officials first attended a zone camp where 8-18 officials are put through on and off-ice testing as well as game evaluations. Two officials from each zone are selected from the zone camps to work the ATB Alberta Cup.

 

“The talent pool at the zone camps was excellent once again, making the decisions difficult on each referee zone,” said Hockey Alberta’s Coordinator of Officiating and Operations, Kyle Baltimore. “The selected officials are deserving of their opportunity to further showcase their talent at the ATB Alberta Cup. We’re looking forward to watching and helping them progress as officials.”

 

Officials selected to work at the ATB Alberta Cup are evaluated and critiqued on their on-ice performance.

 

After the ATB Alberta Cup, officials are chosen to attend the third stage of the program; the Provincial Development Camp. This camp is held in July in conjunction with the U16 Male camp. The Provincial Camp is one week in length and includes classroom sessions, guest speakers, on and off ice training sessions, and game time evaluation.
