NOHA FREE Timekeeper Clinics
The NOHA is pleased to announce three FREE Timekeeper clinics this fall. There will be two introductory sessions and one advanced session.
We are fortunate to have Randy Pascal of Sudbury present his experience and knowledge to NOHA Timekeepers. Randy is recognized as one of the best hockey scorekeepers in the world. He has now been invited to work three sets of Winter Olympic Games (Vancouver—2010; Pyeongchang—2018; Beijing—2022), with a highlight of having been named to work the Sidney Crosby Golden Goal game more than a decade ago.
Introductory Timekeeping Clinic
This clinic includes:
· general overview of the role and responsibilities of a timekeeper/scorekeeper;

A timekeeper’s responsibilities double as a scorekeeper and must ensure the game sheet accurately records what happened during the game, including marking down penalties, goals and assists.
Timekeepers are expected to act professionally. Showing up on time, being responsible, and paying attention are all important attributes.
Looking to get involved? Please get in touch with your local Minor Hockey Association(s) to see if they require additional timekeepers.
