Beckl - PeeWee B Ref - 12/19
Game Notes:
0:00 - Point with non-whistle hand on penalties
4:30 - Intentional off sides - I talk about what the interpretation of intentional offsides should be.
8:00 - 2 man officiating - what and when to call in front of your partner (and, yes, you definitely should do this at times)
14:00 - capture the zone on power plays - positioning and controlled turns
16:30 - battle for the first and last 10 feet of the ice (my new Mantra!)
18:30 - check from behind = text book example (of what not to do as a player)
20:00 - neutral zone face off - position yoursefl in the end zone to see the determining edge of the line
22:00 - high sticking the puck = good call!
26:00 - goal line movement - work the line like an NHL ref
27:00 - hockey skills can be practiced and mastered at ANY GAME at ANY LEVEL
31:45 - coming off the wall to view the puck - work the puck/work the check
34:00 - sight lines = work for the best view, the best angle, out of harms way, getting to the net (if applicable)
39:00 - ready position should be an athletic stance

Harrison - Ref 2-1 High School JV
Game Notes:
1:00 - when play is on other side of the net, work the goal line NHL style towards the net
1:45 - give signals (visual and verbal) to partners when releasing them from the blue line
5:45 - be last one out of zone,keeping all players in front of you
12:00 - being even with the puck in the end zone doesn't mean you have the best sight line - work the puck
16:00 - get to the goal line on scrums/scrambles/all tight plays at the net - ATTACK THE NET
19:00 - be the last one to arrive at penalty bench when announcing penalties - keep all 40 players in your vision at all times if possible

Trumble - Jr. Gold Lines
Game notes:
9:00 - example of how a skating stride that has trained on a treadmill looks
10:30 - "lock up the breaks" when skating hard to show you're into the game
13:00 - another example of "locking up the breaks"
14:45 - I talk about face off stats from another game Mike lined - 10/14 end zone face offs were clean as a whistle - puck goes down, puck gets out of there, players get out of there, linesman gets clean pathway out of face off circle - all due to control of players on the face off
19:30 - examples of what you would say to yourself
24:30 - DON'T get lulled to sleep by the way the game has gone up to that point
25:30 - an "indicator light" should go off in your head about how the style of the game is changing (BE ALERT, BE ALERT, BE ALERT!)
27:30 - example of great hustle
30:00 - 3rd straight hard hitting penalty - the complexion of the game has started it's tipping point
31:30 - What you say to yourself as a referee in these situations and when you call a 5 on 3.

Being Even w/ the Puck is Not Enough
Work the puck/ work the check.
This video clip shows a save for Toronto goalie, who then gives the puck up, and there is a long break the other way. The ref gets in front of the play to have a good angle...working for a good sight line...working for the puck.
A lot of officials are just complacent with being even with the puck. Being even with the puck gives you no angle and no depth perception. Work for the puck:

Work for the Puck (again) II
Watch referee Brad Watson work to get the best sight line for the puck. The difference between good hockey referee positioning and great hockey referre positioning is a few more steps. Watson works hard on those steps:
